[Leaf-user] Dachstein and two external interfaces?

[Ryan P. Matijcio]

I managed to get two interfaces going on Dachstein on Friday.  Using the ethX_ROUTES= command instead of the ethX_DEFAULT_GW command.  I added “_metric_2” to the end of my route and it created a default route with a metric of 2.  I did a network reload and tested everything to ensure it worked properly which it did.    So far so good.    Next, I brought up the pppoe interface by doing a /etc/init.d/pppoe start.  It came up as expected.  However, it did not set the default gateway as it normally does.  So I did so manually using the ip net command and set it to have a metric of 1.  I was thinking of scripting something in the ip-up script to add the gateway automatically with the right metric.    I also did some testing from inside the firewall to see if I could pass traffic through it.  As expected, I could not.  I think this is probably because I need to modify the firewall to support the extra external interface.  So my million dollar question is, how can I make Dachstein work with two external interfaces?  I’ve been digging thought the ipfilter.conf file and so far haven’t figured out how to make this work.  I’d really like to hear some suggestions on how one might accomplish this type of configuration.   Thanks in advance.   Ryan
