This has been asked a few times before. I do it as follows:
/etc/init.d/fire.sh <- contains calls of the following
firewall scripts:
/etc/ppp/firewall_off.sh
/etc/ppp/firewall_on.sh
/etc/ppp/firewall_on.sh.bw
/etc/ppp/firewall_on.sh.sol
/etc/ppp/firewall_on.sh.sol.loose
I have so many scripts as I am currently in the transition
phase from ISDN dial-up to cable modem.
Use the program update-rc.d to create links for the various
runlevel-dirs if you use the SysV init.
(See /etc/init.d/README and /usr/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz
for more infos on this)
I've not experienced downsides with this approach so far.
