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? -nc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Shorewall-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-devel
