Working at building new firewalls.
My old firewalls used shorewall 2.2.3 and I am setting up shorewall 4 now.
Trying to  use the new features.

The documentation states that there is no provision to do automatic fallover of internet providers in case of failures.

In my  old setup a just had scripts to replace my default route

Like this:
ip rule delete prio 222 table 222
ip rule add prio 222 table 222
ip route add default table 222 proto static \
  nexthop via 69.128.2.137 dev eth1 weight 1 \
  nexthop via 205.196.135.26  dev eth2 weight 3
# flush routes
ip route flush cache

for just eth1
ip rule delete prio 222 table 222
ip rule add prio 222 table 222
ip route add default table 222 proto static \
  nexthop via 69.128.2.137 dev eth1
# flush routes
ip route flush cache

Never did really automate it but was easy to stop using the failed provider.

I could still force ping out it for testing.

What is the best way to change the routing without messing up shorewall.
