       The columns in the file are as follows.

       PROVIDER
           The name or number of a provider defined in shorewall-providers[1] (5). Beginning with Shorewall

       DEST
           Destination host address or network address.

       GATEWAY (Optional)
           If specified, gives the IP address of the gateway to the DEST.

           Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.14, you may specify blackhole in this column to create a blackhole
           route.

           Beginning with Shorewall 4.5.15, you may specify prohibit or unreachable in this column to create a
           prohibit or unreachable route respectively.

       DEVICE (Optional)
           Specifies the device route. If neither DEVICE nor GATEWAY is given, then the INTERFACE specified for
           the PROVIDER in shorewall-providers[1] (5). This column must be omitted if blackhole, prohibit or
           unreachable is specified in the GATEWAY column.

           Added in Shorewall 5.0.2.

           Allowed options are:

           persistent
               If specified, the route remains in the provider's routing table even when the provider is
               disabled.
