AFAIK, the gateway must be directly reachable on eth0. But c.d.e.x does
not seem to belong to a.b.c.d/255.255.255.224.

It is, I just replaced the IPs with random(ish) letters

Hackish. You can create a second inet stanza instead.
 
Good to know, thanks, doesn't really pose a problem in this case (I set it up like my server provider suggested, just in case...).

Is there a chance that this script returns a non zero value ?

Yes (also see below)

post-up command
    Run command after bringing the interface up. If this command fails then ifup aborts, refraining from marking the interface as configured (even though it has really been configured), **prints an error message**, and exits with status 0. This behavior may change in the future.

Did you try to swap the inet and inet6 stanzas ?

I did, and it solved the assignment problem, but I guess  it's the iptables.sh script that's causing this.
I suppose I could try to replace it with nftables (we're going there anyway...), but I guess in any case I need to start looking at a proper firewall persistence thing (iptables-persistent or its netfilter equivalent) rather than a shell script :/
Any advice?

@Ric Moore, nope, definitely eth0 (and @tomas is right, they're not devices :) )

Thanks,

Claudio
