Hello, I am facing a strange problem these days. I live in a country where internet is still very slow. We use shorewall (le magnifique) to load balance traffic between 3 ADSL modems bridged to our gateway. The problem is that every now and then, randomly, one of the ADSL drops and then reconnects with a new IP.
I've put a script in "/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/" doing a "/sbin/shorewall status > /dev/null && /sbin/shorewall restart -f" for the firewall to get the new ips properly. I know it's not the best practice but out of 100 times, 99 times it works without a glitch. For the one time, I loose my firewall completely, I get the 6 lines basic firewall, I loose all access to the serveur and I need to log in physically and do a shorewall restart. It happens once every 3-4 days and hopefully I was on workplace when that happened. My question is: is there a way for shorewall to cater for this? I think the problem may be that sometimes one of the ADSL takes more time than needed to get a new IP, and shorewall doesn't really know what to do. Thanks for your precious help.
