Hi; I've managed to deal with two adsl lines and the according interfaces ppp0 and ppp0 for incoming traffic. The multi-isp documentation was helpful. There are two remaining problems: 1) The dsl are disconnected once a day so the remote gateway for ppp0 and ppp1 changes after a unkown time (24hrs+x). This causes a sluggish connection from the loc zone to the internet. I do believe this is cause the route cache is not really refreshed after shorewall restart. A network restart with /etc/init.d/networking restart cures that symptoms though. Will it help to run shorewall stop; ip route flush cache; shorewall start instead of of just restart shorewall? Any other ideas? 2) Due to the change if the pppx interfaces the origin ip-address of the smtp server changes as well, this may end up in false reverse lookups for the MX I'm afraid. I've read about route_rules to route smtp through a given provider. I'd like to route through a specific gateway adress, which isn't bound to a provider since the providers are both dynamic dsl/ppp lines.... Running kernel 2.4.34 iptables 1.3.5 shorewall 4.0.15 Any help is appreciated TIA kp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
