I've currently got two ISPs configured on our Company's Firewall/Router Server running shorewall. I've managed to get both connection going ok. Allthough I'm a bit unclear about a few things.
Ideally I would like to declare one ISP as the main isp and the other one only as a fallback in case the first one isn't available. Can I achieve this somehow through balance weighting? I'm guessing the balance setting in the providers file would make shorewall prefer one connection over the other. Does that mean I can give my "main" provider a huge balance value? E.g. balance=1000 and the other one something like balance=1 ? Secondly, while both connections are active. I'm constantly getting dropped ssh connections or timeouts when logged in certain websites, which attach a session to your ip. I have "track" set in the providers file for both interfaces. But that seems to not help very much. Is there a way I can assure that once a connection is established via a specific provider, to always only use that connection? I've searched the mailing list, but the last information about that seems from quite a few years ago. I don't know if there has been some updates in the mean time. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
