Call me stupid, but I am running a cascade of two Leaf routers and I 
would not even start to consider joining them. That said, I have been 
running them on the same host lately (VMware). That is because I've run 
out of old small sized boxes and everything I can get my hands on is 
hugely oversized for the job.

When my needs were smaller I did have ISP connect en TC on the same 
router, but the current cascaded setup appears to be a lot more stable. 
I am really happy with that. I do not use Shorewall btw, because I am 
using a self patched version of iptables with an extension that is not 
supported by Shorewall.
