Hi,
On my box sometimes the adsl connection is falling on ppp1/ppp2 and not
always on ppp0.
I could investigate hacks to ensure it always goes to ppp0 but I just
read on the pppd mailing list that they consider best practice to never
assume on which ppp+ interface the connection will be brought up. The
solution they give is to use the "linkname adsl" option to pppd and then
find the interface name on /var/run/ppp-adsl.pid or if the ip is static
just find the interface from the IP address.
I was wondering if there is anyway to tell shorewall to figure out the
right ppp+ interface for my provider. On interfaces file I have
net ppp+ optional,wait=10,...
On providers I wanted to write: (this is multi-isp)
adsl 1 256 - ppp+:<ip_address> - track,balance=10
-
However, shorewall does not seem to accept it, so now I have ppp0
there. My next move would be to figure out the interface name with a custom
script and add a $ADSL_IFACE variable on the params file then replace ppp0
with $ADSL_IFACE.
Anything I am missing here? How have other people dealt with this?
