Hello friends,

The multi-provider structure seems to work fine when it's really being used
for links to multiple ISP's of relatively stable quality. It's problematic
when the ISP's are unstable (I am in Africa) mostly because failures aren't
directly detectable: usually there is a break, or a major slowdown
somewhere upstream in the ISP's network.

It has become very complicated because we also have several sites connected
by links that aren't always reliable (OpenVPN tunnels over said unreliable
ISP's; even our WiFi links go down sometimes).

The cleanest solution seems to be to manually disable / enable providers as
needed (or use a monitoring tool to do so). However the question:

Is there a clean way to mark a provider so that it will NOT be enabled upon
shorewall (re)start? I guess I could do it in an extension script but that
is a bit of a hack.

Input welcome!
