Hi, Thanks again for the response. So the plan is my firewall will be connected to 3 different WAN.
eth0-eth4 will be connected to my ISP eth5 will be connected to Partner A eth6 will be connected to Partner B eth7 will be connected to LAN The reason I split into 5 ethernet cards for ISP A is because they give us 5 static IP and the traffic will be very high on each IP. Partner A will be a host to host connection, and also Partner B. And there will be many IP and portforward to servers behind the firewall via my ISP. I hope my explanation is OK. Thanks. sangprabv [email protected] On May 22, 2010, at 11:26 PM, Michael Weickel - iQom Business Services GmbH wrote: > > If your kernel supports up to 8 ethernet cards, shorewall will do as well. > > Normally the internet is provided by one port to you by your internet > service provider.
