Shorewall 5.0.2 Beta 1 is now available for testing. Problems Corrected:
1) Previously, if statistical load balancing was used in the providers
file, the default route in the main table was not deleted during
firewall start/restart. That route is now correctly deleted.
2) The MSSQL now allows UDP port 1434 (Tuomo Soini).
New Features:
1) More version numbers have been removed from configuration files
and Macros (Tuomo Soini).
2) The providers file now supports a 'persistent' option. When
specified, this option removes the need to configure host routes to
systems used as the 'checkip' in LSM.
As part of this change, two other configuration have changed:
a) The 'rtrules' file now allows the rule priority to be followed
by an exclaimation mark ("!").
b) An OPTION column has been added to the 'routes' file. The only
option currently supported is 'persistent'.
The option affects the routing configuration when the provider is
disabled:
- The provider's routing table still exists and contains the
provider's default route.
- Unless 'noautosrc' is specified, connections originating from the
interfaces IP address(es) are routed via the provider's default
gateway.
- Routing rules for the provider that specify '!' after the
priority are left in place.
- 'persistent' routes for the provider are left in place, allowing
communication with local networks that are still accessible.
Thank you for testing,
-Tom
