No patches are required to use the configuration that is generated by 
Shorewall.  If you're not extremely experienced with iptables and 'ip 
rule', you're a lot better off using something like Shorewall to 
generate your configurations.  As I previously suggested, you should at 
least generate working configurations with shorewall and then reviewing 
them to learn *why* they work before attempting to do multi-isp setups 
by hand.  You will save yourself a lot of trouble that way.
