Hi Tom,

I'm sorry that I come back so late. I was busy with other issues.

I tried both of your suggestions but neither has helped me.
Actually I was looking for a port based routing mechanism but it seems that it 
is not possible even with the so valuable ip-tables of linux. (weird ?)

Now I have another idea; to keep the port 5060 of  ppp0 busy so that Asterisk 
can not listen on it.
Is there a dummy app which can do that ? (I am looking for an app with very few 
cpu utilization so that it doesn't get a burden on the cpu)
Or even, would it be possible to keeping that port busy using ip-tables ?

Btw, my Shorewall configuration works by tracling the pakets on both ISP 
connections. So if a connection is made through ppp1, all packets of the same 
session go through that interface. Why doesn't this work for packets incoming 
to that interface ?

Thanks,
ilker

I can think of two things to try:

1 - Swap the order in which you bring up your ppp interfaces so that the one 
that you want Asterisk to use is started first. Warning: that will result in 
the names of the interfaces being swapped.

2 - Switch the Shorewall configuration to use USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes.

I would try them in that order.
