Hi, I have the following set up:
LAN --> Gateway 1 --> ISP1 LAN --> Gateway 2 --> ISP2 Gateway2 is running Shorewall. Both gateways are doing SNAT. I have a server on the public side of Gateway1 (i.e. on a global IP belonging to ISP1). People using Gateway2 currently have to go upstream to ISP2, through the public internet and back in through ISP1 to reach the said server. Obviously, this is a waste of time and bandwidth. I have added a static route on gateway 2 like so: /sbin/route add -host ip.of.server.on.isp1 gw ip.of.gateway.2 >From gateway2 itself I am able to ping my server. However, I am unable to ping server from any desktop on the LAN which is using Gateway2 as its gateway. I suspect this is due to some rule in Shorewall. Any clues as to how I can wrangle shorewall into allowing this packet? Thanks. S. -- "This is everybody's fault but mine!" -- Homer J.
