/* HINT: Search archives @ http://www.indyramp.com/masq/ before posting! */ I currently have a straightforward setup: a linux gateway with a class C network on one side and our ISP on the other. On our gateway machine I have an ethernet card (eth0) and two ISDN lines. One is used for the ISP (IPPP0), the other is idle. How can I use the second ISDN line to dial a second ISP, and dedicate that line to one of our PCs? I had this idea but it did not work. I set up a virtual server and second PPP connection by tacking these lines onto the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.99 route add -host 192.168.1.99 dev eth0:0 (lots of /usr/local/sbin/isdnctrl setup for the second ISDN phone line) /sbin/ifconfig ippp1 192.168.1.99 pointopoint $SECONDISPIP /sbin/ifconfig ippp1 -arp -broadcast /sbin/route add $SECONDISPIP ippp1 /usr/local/sbin/ipppd user $MYNAME remotename $SECONDISPNAME I tried a simple firewall by making a new /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall with these rules, to see if I could make a connection from one PC to the second ISP. /sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.25 -d ippp1 -l -j MASQ /sbin/ipchains -A forward -p 0 -s 192.168.1.0 -i eth0 -l -j MASQ /sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d ippp1 -l -j REJECT Ater rebooting, the routes all appeared, but the second line was not used.
