Very late to this thread, probably not a concern, but I wanted to add. I too on occasion have this problem. In my case, the eth0 or eth1 would die, and if I downed the box, and brought it back up, no harm no foul. After a few more instances, I decided to just down the eth0 or eth1 device and that would work for the most part. I had thought about writing a script to check the external IP address of the router every hour, and if it doesn't exist to perform a down of the eth0 device and then bring it back up, and afterwards, restart shorewall to confirm that the rules were still set correctly. I'll spend some more time on that, if anyone still has a serious issue with it.

We are several to have it and not read any solution to correct it. For now, I can say that when this problem occures, the "manual" solution, excepting a complete reboot of my Soekris/Bering card, is to delete the default route, which have switched curiously from ppp0 to ipsec0, and to add a new default route assigning ppp0 again ! And Bering works again, always alive ! So, how can I do that automaticaly ? May be this occures with a little drop of my IPS link ? If yes, just to survey the up/down of ppp0 and del/add default route systematicaly when ppp0 is up again could resolve this ? But, to do that correctly, how to assign the IP address of mu ISP gateway which is not always the same at each PPPoE connection ? I have tempt an idiot command with %defaultroute, but, this variable seems to be not authorized at this place... What could be the correct solution ? Any idea guys ?
