While I don't feel that the redundancy of a second ISP is worth the cost for me personally, if I had two uplinks I would: a) Have two external NICs in my firewall; one for each ISP b) Describe both as 'optional' in /etc/shorewall/providers c) Specify 'balance' on both (why not?) d) If one of the links goes down, simply take the interface down (ifdown) and restart Shorewall. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key
