<title>Description</title>
<para>This file is used to define additional routing tables. You will want
to define an additional table if:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You have connections to more than one ISP or multiple
connections to the same ISP</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You run Squid as a transparent proxy on a host other than the
firewall.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You have other requirements for policy routing.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Each entry in the file defines a single routing table.</para>
<para>If you wish to omit a column entry but want to include an entry in
the next column, use "-" for the omitted entry.</para>
<para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">NAME</emphasis>
<emphasis>name</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The provider <emphasis>name</emphasis>. Must be a valid shell
variable name. The names 'local', 'main', 'default' and 'unspec' are
reserved and may not be used as provider names.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">NUMBER</emphasis>
<emphasis>number</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The provider number -- a number between 1 and 15. Each
provider must be assigned a unique value.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">MARK</emphasis>
<emphasis>value</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>A FWMARK <emphasis>value</emphasis> used in your <ulink
url="shorewall-tcrules.html">shorewall-tcrules</ulink>(5) file to
direct packets to this provider.</para>
<para>If HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes in <ulink
url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5), then the value
must be a multiple of 256 between 256 and 65280 or their hexadecimal
equivalents (0x0100 and 0xff00 with the low-order byte of the value
being zero). Otherwise, the value must be between 1 and 255. Each
provider must be assigned a unique mark value.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">DUPLICATE</emphasis>
<emphasis>routing-table-name</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of an existing table to duplicate to create this
routing table. May be <option>main</option> or the name of a
previously listed provider. You may select only certain entries from
the table to copy by using the COPY column below.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">INTERFACE</emphasis>
<emphasis>interface</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The name of the network interface to the provider. Must be
listed in <ulink
url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5).</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">GATEWAY</emphasis> - {<emphasis
role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>address</emphasis>|<emphasis
role="bold">detect</emphasis>}</term>
<listitem>
<para>The IP address of the provider's gateway router.</para>
<para>You can enter "detect" here and Shorewall will attempt to
detect the gateway automatically.</para>
<para>For PPP devices, you may omit this column.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">OPTIONS</emphasis> (Optional) — [<emphasis
role="bold">-</emphasis>|<emphasis>option</emphasis>[<emphasis
role="bold">,</emphasis><emphasis>option</emphasis>]...]</term>
<listitem>
<para>A comma-separated list selected from the following. The order
of the options is not significant but the list may contain no
embedded whitespace.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">track</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>If specified, inbound connections on this interface are
to be tracked so that responses may be routed back out this
same interface.</para>
<para>You want to specify <option>track</option> if internet
hosts will be connecting to local servers through this
provider.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis
role="bold">balance[=<replaceable>weight</replaceable>]</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>The providers that have <option>balance</option>
specified will get outbound traffic load-balanced among them.
By default, all interfaces with <option>balance</option>
specified will have the same weight (1). You can change the
weight of an interface by specifiying
<option>balance=</option><replaceable>weight</replaceable>
where <replaceable>weight</replaceable> is the weight of the
route out of this interface.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>Shorewall normally adds a routing rule for each IP
address on an interface which forces traffic whose source is
that IP address to be sent using the routing table for that
interface. Setting <option>loose</option> prevents creation of
such rules on this interface.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">optional</emphasis></term>
<listitem>
<para>If the interface named in the INTERFACE column is not up
and configured with an IPv4 address then ignore this
provider.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><emphasis role="bold">COPY</emphasis>
[{<option>none</option>|<emphasis>interface</emphasis><emphasis
role="bold">[,</emphasis><emphasis>interface</emphasis>]...}]</term>
<listitem>
<para>A comma-separated list of other interfaces on your firewall.
Usually used only when DUPLICATE is <option>main</option>. Only copy
routes through INTERFACE and through interfaces listed here. If you
only wish to copy routes through INTERFACE, enter
<option>none</option> here.</para>
