Possibly OT since this may or may not involve Shorewall - it largely depends on what I can get to work !
I need to setup a router on an ASDL line where multiple IPs are provided by the ISP. Hardware wise, we'd probably use a Linksys WRT54GL running OpenWRT and a Draytek Vigor 120 modem - we've used these before, but hardware is largely "whatever will do the job". But, the IP provided by the ISP to the PPPoE client is one of those AND all the connected devices must be on public IPs - so I need some sort of "bridged" setup. Eg, the customers allocation is 192.0.2.0/27, 192.0.2.1 is given to the PPP client by the ISP, and the attached devices must be on 192.0.2.2/27 and so on (each device is a router/firewall itself). The end result we need is that we present an ethernet port where the attached devices only need to know that 192.0.2.1/27 is the gateway. This seems to be the most common setup supplied by UK ADSL providers. It's not been a problem where everything is NATted, but we're really struggling to find a setup that works reliably without NAT. AFAICT, because the upstream is a PPP link, bridges and proxy-ARP are out. -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
