I agree 100% and was not the intent of the comment. This is more an organisational approach based on what I've seen and done in the past. Being organised does contribute to security ;-) > Routing policy is definitely required for a multi-homed system such as > Jussi presented, but NAT is totally superfluous.

Now that I understand Jussi's set up a little better (all the components seem to be fully internet facing) I also agree 100% with that. > John Pierce's advice was simple and correct.

Understanding a bit about the "ip" tool and policy-based routing (and routing in general) will help to understand the configuration you have suggested, and mapping it to his needs. > interfaces: > inet eth0 - norfc1918,nosmurfs,tcpflags > inet eth1 - norfc1918,nosmurfs,tcpflags > lan virbr0 - dhcp > > zones: > fw firewall > inet ipv4 > lan ipv4 > > policy: > $FW all ACCEPT > inet inet DROP > all inet ACCEPT > all all REJECT info > > providers: > isp0 1 1 main eth0 62.236.221.78 track,balance > isp1 2 2 main eth1 62.220.237.126 track,balance > > route_rules: > lo - isp0 11000 > eth0 - isp0 11000 > eth1 - isp1 11000 > virbr0 - isp1 11000 Nice use of providers and route_rules. Only one bridge, the one that libvirtd brings up by default. Shorewall probably has to start after libvirtd for this to work. All Jussi has to do is to mod this and his xen-startup scripts to use the same bridge. Kal
