Using LEAF "Bering-uClibc" Firewall - V2.1.0rc2, I'm setting up on a Qwest DSL line in Oregon (which at $22/month you gotta love.) It's working ok for basic connectivity, but I'm having problems with the "Actiontec DSL Gateway" which, unlike the cable modems I'm used to, thinks it's a firewall/router as well as a modem. Of course, it's not enough of a firewall/router that I don't need LEAF.
The problem is that the Actiontec box gets assigned an IP address via dhcp, and it requires my LEAF box to have a separate IP address. But I want to use ezipupd.lrp to publish my IP for external access. The LEAF box isn't even told the IP address by which the rest of the world knows the connection. The Actiontec box has an http configuration interface through which the assigned IP address is visible. After tweaking shorewall to allow fw->net connections I can use snarf and grep to figure out the IP address. But 1) that's a pain; and 2) I won't get notified when it changes so I'll have to poll from crontab or something. Is there a better solution out there?
