Hello,

I have recently discovered shorewall and consider myself not a newbie but not a 
pro in networking technology either. 
I've set up my own firewall using shorewall on Debian and it works fine.

- eth0 connects to my local network
- eth1 connects to my cable modem
- eth2 connects to my dsl modem (ppp0)
- eth3 connects to my wireless network
- eth4 is currently not in use

I configured shorewall according to the official MultiISP "how to" and 
basically it works fine. Except when ppp0 gets disconnected and reconnected by 
the provider the routing tables are updated (so I guess) and the system uses 
ppp0 as default route, even though eth1/cable still works fine.

Perhaps I missunderstood something and am missing something in my configuration 
(I guess I DO need a script monitoring for failover and disable the overriding 
of the routes somehow...)

I'd be happy about any hints and tipps how to achieve a simple failover setup 
where eth1 is my primary connection and ppp0 only kicks in when cable really 
does not work.

I've attached my shorewall dump, I hope this is correct.

Thanks
Sebastian
