Hi,

I have been using shorewall for a while now. Usually I manage to get
things working on my own, but I am really out of resources right now.

I want to create a failover between my 2 ISP connections. I have
everything working. But there is one major problem:

Once the interface is marked as non-usable and shorewall restarts with
only the working provider, the non-usable interface doesn't receives
pings anymore. So when that interface is ready to work again, it never
gets detected by the script, so it remains down.

If I write a 0 to interface.status in /var/lib/shorewall and restart
shorewall, the interface is "unblocked" and works again (assuming that
is was online at this time).

I also manage to get the non-usable interface getting pings back if I
add a default route using its gateway and its device. But this disables
the other interface from receiving pings.

Any lights?

Thank you,
--
