We have a similar issue with the Fedora equivalent of SuSSfirewall, and it provides a mechanism for us to register the set of rules we want, so when it is re-run, it re-adds our rules. As a failsafe, sending SIGHUP to libvirtd will make it re-add its rules so if there's some post-config hook for SuSEfirewall, it could be made to SIGHUP the libvirtd daemon. > What kind of iptables rules do you need to install? It depends on the particular config, but it is adding sets of rules against the IP range & bridge device config for the interface we add to allow / disallow forwarding of traffic.
