Everything in LOC has the firewall running shorewall configured as the 
Default Gateway.  Also, as mentioned in the original post with the entry 
in the routes file routing works as expected from the firewall.  Also 
mentioned in the original post, is when everything is allowed in 
shorewall via the entry in the policy file, everything routes as 
expected from the LOC network.  To me this says that "routing" works but 
the firewall is blocking.  I may be wrong, but that is the assumption I 
am making since I have actually made a connection from LOC to the 
network exposed in kubernetes network.  I am assuming I need a RULE to 
allow the traffic to pass, but since the kubernete network is not a 
ZONE, I am not really sure how that would look.
