This advice seem to be very nice, I go to test it.

Just one more question... :) Does the "pre-up" keyword meens that the
Firewall is startup at the same time the interface is going up?
Looking at the prefix "pre" I should imagine that it start the firewall
script before the interface is up, but this seem to me a bit strange...

I should study...mutch more...
