Thanks Prasanna.

I'm having some wierd problems with encrypted traffic that I'm trying to troubleshoot. I do have the interface aliases all setup and working.

I actually setup an alternate to test by assigning an additional private IP to the internal host and separating the NATS for each interface, but it didn't help.

#EXTERNAL       INTERFACE       INTERNAL        ALL             LOCAL
#                                               INTERFACES
<ISP1 IP>     eth1:2          10.0.1.11           no
no
<ISP2 IP>     eth2:2          10.0.1.12           no
no


The troubleshooting continues.

Thank you very much for the feedback though. I couldn't find anything in the Shorewall docs as to whether what I was doing was "legal" or not (not to say it might not be there), but you at least told me I wasn't stupid. (And I still owe you and the wiki documentation on my current setup, but I'm not so sure I've worked out the kinks yet).

    Is this legal?

    In a multi-isp setup, is it "legal" to setup an internal host in the
    shorewall/nat file with the same IP and two different external ip's?

It should work (not used it myself)

Now depending on your default route (or policy route), the interface is chosen. Remember IPtables does not choose the interface. Once the interface is chosen, then the IP is set according to masq/nat - this is for outgoing packets. For incoming packets, any thing coming in on that virtual interface should just be DNAT'ed and sent to the local IP. With "mark" in place it should be just like a normal multi-ISP setup.

Note that this line will add an aliased interface to each interface that you have, unless you are specifying ADD_IP_ALIASES <http://shorewall.net/manpages/shorewall.conf.html>="no" . Since you seem to have an alias already, you may want to check that.

Prasanna.
