Dear list,

Shorewall is running here with 2 ISP's:
ISP1: corporate ADSL-line with fixed set of IP's
ISP2: fast consumer-grade cable-connection with higher bandwidth
All our main traffic (web, e-mail) is routed trough ISP1. Only for 
special purposes (frequent large ftp-transfers) ISP2 is used, configured 
trough tcrules.

ISP2 is not so reliable as ISP1 (duh) and they sometimes change the 
IP-address of our connection. When the link is down, I'd like all 
traffic to go trough ISP1 and alert myself by e-mail. If the IP-address 
of ISP2 changes, I'd like networking and shorewall to be restarted in 
order to initialize correct routing and firewall rules.

Which tools can be used to monitor connections (up-down, IP) and act 
uppon changes? Any experience? I've been looking into Paul Gear's 
article but that doesn't really implement what I want. I understood 
shorewall can be loaded with a different set of configuration files, so 
I could create files for every scenario and load them with appropriate 
command lines.

Sjon Wijnolst
