I appreciate the reply Tom!
You have just caught me digging through your Shorewall site in search of hints on this
very topic. I have also just downloaded the Shorewall 1.3.1 lrp and was about to send
a message to the LEAF list to see if anyone had tried using this version with the most
recent Bering.
The reason I had not assumed that using the two external interfaces either
simultaneously or in failover was automatically possible with Shorewall was due to a
series of messages from the LEAF list archive that seemed to indicated (always with
Dachstein or some other LEAF than Bering that use ipchains) the firewall part of this
puzzle was either not do-able or problematic. Sense I am fairly new to LEAF and
Shorewall, I wanted to find information to build my confidence that this was possible
before digging in too deep.
I must say I am becoming addicted to both the prospects my experiences to date of both
LEAF Bering and Shorewall. Coming from a Cisco PIX background this is refreshing!

Why don't you just define two external interaces to Shorewall to start
with? There should be no need to restart it.
