[webmin-l] IPTABLES restore under OpenVZ

I can't remember if we've talked about this before, sorry if it's a dupe.

OpenVZ containers running Linux seem to rewrite /etc/network/interfaces 
every time it re-boots.

Wouldn't this indicate that /etc/network/interfaces is a bad place to 
put iptables restore actions and that they should go in /etc/rc.local? I 
have from time to time found some of our VPS with no active firewall (!) 
though Webmin thinks there is one (because I don't click revert) ... if 
I simply click "Apply changes" and set the "Start firewall on boot" to 
yes, it all works, until it happens again ...

Or am I dreaming?

(On a side note, it'd be nice with a show currently active firewall 
without having to revert/etc, another idea is to allow Webmin to display 
differences between actual and what Webmin thinks)
