Package: aiccu
Version: 20070115-15.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

On my home router, I have an OpenVPN tunnel to one of my servers with
native IPv6, and would also like to have a SixXS tunnel as backup to
be able to reach home even when my own IPv6 setup is crippled.

To do so, I would like to use a setup like this, which I use
successfully on routers which have multiple IPv6 uplinks:

- have no IPv6 default route in the main routing table
- have one additional routing table per uplink (in my case, a "sixxs"
  and a "openvpn" table), which only hold a single default route,
  pointing to the respective gateway
- ip -6 rule add sixxs-prefix table sixxs pref 32769
- ip -6 rule add openvpn-prefix table openvpn pref 32770

Currently, I can choose whether I want to have a default route set by
aiccu into my main routing table, where it would break the openvpn
tunnel, or no default route at all, setting it manually via a
setupscript.

Please consider (as alternatives)

(1)
adapting the syntax so that "defaultroute tablename" becomes a valid
configuration option, causing the default route to be written in the
named table. That way, "true" and "false" cannot be used as table
name, but I guess that would be OK.

(2)
making the IP address of the gateway available in setuptscript's
environment so that there is no need to hard-code the IP address there

(3)
running the setupscript parameter through a shell to make constructs
like "setupscript ifup sixxs" or "setupscript foo parameter" possible

(4)
Add a unsetupscript option to have a script executed when aiccu takes
a tunnel down to undo things introduced by the setupscript option

(5)
add a routingtable option to cause aiccu to make all its changes to a
special routingable

Thanks in advance!

Greetings
Marc
