Hi,

My goal is to have 2 NICs associated to 2 providers for specific private IP 
address ranges (eg. all traffic to/from 10.215.224.0/20 should go through these 
two providers).
Another NIC allows access to Internet and that should be the default route.
The other NIC of course is connected to the local network.

At the moment I don't want to load-balance outgoing connections. I understand 
that I can force outbound connections with rtrules:

10.215.247.194          10.215.236.221          IBS             11000
-                       10.215.224.0/20         CAIB            11001

So connections from "lan" src 10.215.247.194 to destination 10.215.236.221 will 
imperatively go via IBS provider.
All other connections to 10.215.224.0/20 will go through CAIB provider.

Now, suppose "providers" contains the following:

CAIB    1       1       -       $IF_CAIB        $ADDR_GW_CAIB   loose,track
IBS     2       2       -       $IF_IBS         $ADDR_GW_IBS    loose,track

and the remote router behind IBS and CAIB decides to send a packet from 
10.215.236.221 to 10.215.247.194 via the CAIB provider (new connection) then 
where will shorewall reply?
If the "track" option is specified in "providers" then the packet will be 
MARKed with 1 in this case and I guess that it should go back out the CAIB 
provider DESPITE the rtrule shown above, right?

However, "shorewall show routing" displays among other things:

Routing Rules

0:      from all lookup local
1:      from all fwmark 0x200/0x200 lookup Tproxy
220:    from all lookup 220
999:    from all lookup main
10000:  from all fwmark 0x1/0xff lookup CAIB
10001:  from all fwmark 0x2/0xff lookup IBS
11000:  from 10.215.247.194 to 10.215.236.221 lookup IBS
11001:  from all to 10.215.224.0/20 lookup CAIB
32765:  from all lookup balance
32767:  from all lookup default

Furthermore, table "default" is empty and table "main" has:
default via 172.16.0.2 dev enp4s1

Note: 172.16.0.2 is my internet gateway.

Trying to initiate from 10.215.247.194 to 10.215.236.221 does not go out the 
IBS provider, probably because we're reaching the "main" table and the default 
route to 172.16.0.2.
Likewise, any incoming CAIB connections will hit the default internet gateway 
in "main" before looking up CAIB table.

Would moving "default via 172.16.0.2 dev enp4s1 metric 4" from "main" to 
"default" make sense?
If so, how can I do that?

I'm attaching a shorewall dump.

Thanks,

Vieri
