Hi,
My net interface gets it's ip address dinamically asigned by a dhcp server.
Sometime I need that address for SNAT, DNAT rules and so on...
I use a variable throughout Shorewall that is defined in the params file.
Everytime that this ip change, I need to change it manually.
I'm currently testing the following to let Shorewall know about that new ip:
I have a script in /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks that do:
case $reason in
bound)
echo $new_ip_address > /etc/shorewall/current_net_ip
shorewall reload
;;
esac
then in /etc/shorewall/params:
CURRENT_NET_IP=$(cat /etc/shorewall/current_net_ip)
then I can use 'CURRENT_NET_Ip' throughout Shorewall.
I could clearly asign a fix address but for the sake of understanding...
Is there a better way to let shorewall know when my net interface gets a
new ip or fix address is the way to go?
