Hello all,
after reading all the Shorewall documentation about multi-ISP and
routing some questions remain.
I have a Shorewall system running connected to two ISPs. Up to now I use
static routes, defined in the linux system, and a default route pointing
to one of the interfaces. I don't use the "balance" option in
/etc/shorewall/providers (yes, and don't use the "routefilter" option on
interfaces).
Now we will extend our bandwith with a third ISP line. What I now want
is a load balance on two of the interfaces and some dedicated traffic on
the third. As I understood the documentation, all I have to do for this
is to add the "balance" option to the desired provider lines and to
delete the single default route in linux (since it is inserted by
Shorewall anyway for each provider line). Am I right up to here? Did I
forget anything?
So, what's the difference between defining routing on linux ("route add
-net....") and using /etc/shorewall/route_roules? Is there any advantage
to use the one or other?
Thanks for your advice,
Christian
