That's what it's called in the config...   There are options for sending 
traffic for specific ports to other IPs, so e.g. you can send port 80 
traffic to IP1, port 25 traffic to IP2... there's also a default IP (the 
default server) to send anything for ports not otherwise listed. I guess 
it's a kind of simplistic routing table.

I found that leaving this out of the modem's config means it doesn't 
route properly when the internal IP is not that of the gateway.

I guess I replace this with a simple routing rule on the gateway and 
it's not really a shorewall thing?

Ok.. at least I'm not misunderstanding something. It seems a strange the 
manufacturers dont find a better solution...
