Just for clarification: both dsl lines do have a static ip. With "dynamic" I tried to describe the fact, that the ppp addresses (with static ip adresses and seperate gateways) may change for ppp0/ppp1 when the ppp interfaces goes up and down. So I do not have a fixed IP's and routes for ppp0 and another one for ppp1, although I have fixed IP's for two dsl/ppp lines. 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
