Hi,

I started on writing a ping daemon for multi ISP setups. It pings
routers to monitor if isp is available or not. When status of an ISP
change it executes a configurable command.

Now, to do a proper failover it might be needed to delete/add default
gateways. This might confuse shorewall with the multiisp setup.

So, what would be *really* neat is a shorewall command to indicate the
status of an isp. For example

  shorewall provider ISP1 down

will tell shorewall that ISP1 (defined in providers) is down and remove
that route. On restart it should not be confused if route is not there.

and the corresponding:

  shorewall provider ISP1 up

will tell shorewall that the ISP is available again and do the necessary
magic. Prefferible without recompiling the rules.

What would be needed to get something like that working in shorewall?

Other ideas on how to implement proper ISP failover with shorewall?
