<para>Reading just Shorewall documentation is probably not going to give
you enough background to use this material. Shorewall may make iptables
easy but the Shorewall team doesn't have the resources to be able to
spoon-feed Linux policy routing to you (please remember that the user's
manual for a tractor doesn't teach you to grow corn either). You will
likely need to refer to the following additional information:</para>

<para>Beginning with Shorewall 2.3.2, limited support is included for
multiple internet connections. Limitations of this support are as

<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>It utilizes static routing configuration. As such, there is no

<section id="Overview">
<title>Overview</title>
<para>Let's assume that a firewall is connected via two separate
ethernet interfaces to two different ISPs as in the following
diagram.</para>
<graphic align="center" fileref="images/TwoISPs.png" valign="middle" />
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>eth0 connects to ISP1. The IP address of eth0 is
206.124.146.176 and the ISP's gateway router has IP address
206.124.146.254.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>eth1 connects to ISP 2. The IP address of eth1 is
130.252.99.27 and the ISP's gateway router has IP address
130.252.99.254.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>eth2 connects to the local LAN. Its IP configuration is not
relevant to this discussion.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Each of these <firstterm>providers</firstterm> is described in an
entry in the file <filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename>.</para>
<para>Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> can
specify that outgoing connections are to be load-balanced between the
two ISPs. Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> can be
used to direct particular outgoing connections to one ISP or the other.
Use of <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> is not required for
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> to work, but you must
select a unique MARK value for each provider so Shorewall can set up the
correct marking rules for you.</para>
<para>When you use the <emphasis role="bold">track</emphasis> option in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename>, connections from the
internet are automatically routed back out of the correct interface and
through the correct ISP gateway. This works whether the connection is
handled by the firewall itself or if it is routed or port-forwarded to a
system behind the firewall.</para>
<para>Shorewall will set up the routing and will update the
<filename>/etc/iproute2/rt_tables</filename> to include the table names
and numbers of the tables that it adds.</para>
<caution>
<para>This feature uses <ulink url="traffic_shaping.htm">packet
marking</ulink> to control the routing. As a consequence, there are
some restrictions concerning entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename>:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Packet marking for traffic control purposes may not be done
in the PREROUTING table for connections involving providers with
'track' specified (see below).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You may not use the SAVE or RESTORE options.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You may not use connection marking.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</caution>
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> file can also be
used in other routing scenarios. See the <ulink

example.</para>

<important>
<para>If you are using
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> because you
have multiple internet connections, we recommend that you
specify 'track' even if you don't need it. It helps
maintain long-term connections in which there are
significant periods with no traffic.</para>
</important>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>balance</term>
<listitem>
<para>The providers that have 'balance' specified will get
outbound traffic load-balanced among them. Balancing will
not be perfect, as it is route based, and routes are cached.
This means that routes to often-used sites will always be
over the same provider.</para>
<para>By default, each provider is given the same weight (1)
. You can change the weight of a given provider by following
<emphasis>balance</emphasis> with "=" and the desired weight
(e.g., balance=2). The weights reflect the relative
bandwidth of the providers connections and should be small
numbers since the kernel actually creates additional default
routes for each weight increment.</para>
<important>
<para>If you are using
<filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> because you
have multiple internet connections, we recommend that you
specify 'balance' even if you don't need it. You can still
use entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename>
to force all traffic to one provider or another.<note>
<para>If you don't heed this advice then be prepared
to read <ulink url="FAQ.htm#faq57">FAQ 57</ulink> and

</note></para>
</important>
<important>
<para>If you specify 'balance' and still find that all
traffic is going out through only one provider, you may
need to install a kernel built with

problems.</para>

<para>A comma-separated list if interface names. Wildcards

<para>When you specify an existing table in the DUPLICATE column,
Shorewall copies all routes through the interface specified in the

Normally, you will list all interfaces on your firewall in this

column of entries in this file.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</section>
<section id="Providers">
<title>What an entry in the Providers File Does</title>
<para>Adding another entry in the providers file simply creates an
alternate routing table for you. The table will usually contain two
routes:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>A host route to the specified GATEWAY through the specified
INTERFACE.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>A default route through the GATEWAY.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>Note that the first route is omitted if "-" is specified as the
GATEWAY; in that case, the default route does not specify a gateway
(point-to-point link).</para>
<para>If the DUPLICATE column is non-empty, then routes from the table
named in that column are copied into the new table. By default, all
routes (except default routes) are copied. The set of routes copied can
be restricted using the COPY column which lists the interfaces whose
routes you want copied. You will generally want to include all local
interfaces in this list. You should exclude the loopback interface (lo)
and any interfaces that do not have an IPv4 configuration. You should
also omit interfaces like <emphasis role="bold">tun</emphasis>
interfaces that are created dynamically. Traffic to networks handled by
those intefaces should be routed through the main table using entries in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/route_rules</filename> (see Example 2 <link
linkend="Examples">below</link>).</para>
<para>In addition:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Unless <emphasis role="bold">loose</emphasis> is specified, an
ip rule is generated for each IP address on the INTERFACE that
routes traffic from that address through the associated routing
table.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you specify <emphasis role="bold">track</emphasis>, then
connections which have had at least one packet arrive on the
interface listed in the INTERFACE column have their connection mark
set to the value in the MARK column. In the PREROUTING chain,
packets with a connection mark have their packet mark set to the
value of the associated connection mark; packets marked in this way
bypass any prerouting rules that you create in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename>. This ensures that
packets associated with connections from outside are always routed
out of the correct interface.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you specify <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis>, then
Shorewall will replace the 'default' route with weight 100 in the
'main' routing table with a load-balancing route among those
gateways where <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> was
specified. So if you configure default routes, be sure that their
weight is less than 100 or the route added by Shorewall will not be
used.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>That's <emphasis role="bold">all</emphasis> that these entries do.
You still have to follow the principle stated in the <ulink
url="Shorewall_and_Routing.html">Shorewall Routing
documentation</ulink>:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Routing determines where packets are to be sent.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Once routing determines where the packet is to go, the
firewall (Shorewall) determines if the packet is allowed to go
there.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>The bottom line is that if you want traffic to go out through a
particular provider then you <emphasis>must </emphasis>mark that traffic
with the provider's MARK value in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> and you must do that marking
in the PREROUTING chain; or, you must provide the appropriate rules in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/route_rules</filename>.</para>
</section>
<section id="Provider_Doesnt">
<title>What an entry in the Providers File Does NOT Do</title>
<para>Given that Shorewall is simply a tool to configure Netfilter and
does not run continuously in your system, entries in the providers file
<emphasis role="bold">do not provide any automatic failover in the event
of failure of one of your Internet connections</emphasis>.</para>
</section>
<section id="Martians">
<title>Martians</title>
<para>One problem that often arises with Multi-ISP configuration is
'Martians'. If your internet interfaces are configured with the
<emphasis role="bold">routefilter</emphasis> option in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/interfaces</filename> (remember that if you set
that option, you should also select <emphasis
role="bold">logmartians</emphasis>), then things may not work correctly
and you will see messages like this:</para>
<programlisting>Feb 9 17:23:45 gw.ilinx kernel: martian source 206.124.146.176 from 64.86.88.116, on dev eth1
Feb 9 17:23:45 gw.ilinx kernel: ll header: 00:a0:24:2a:1f:72:00:13:5f:07:97:05:08:00</programlisting>
<para>The above message is somewhat awkwardly phrased. The source IP in
this incoming packet was 64.86.88.116 and the destination IP address is
206.124.146.176. Another gotcha is that the incoming packet has already
had the destination IP address changed for DNAT or because the original
outgoing connection was altered by an entry in
<filename>/etc/shorewall/masq</filename> (SNAT or Masquerade). So the
destination IP address (206.124.146.176) may not have been the
destination IP address in the packet as it was initially
received.</para>
<para>There a couple of common causes for these problems:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>You have connected both of your external interfaces to the
same hub/switch. Connecting multiple firewall interfaces to a common
hub or switch is always a bad idea that will result in
hard-to-diagnose problems.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You are specifying both the <emphasis
role="bold">loose</emphasis> and <emphasis
role="bold">balance</emphasis> options on your provider(s). This
causes individual connections to ping-pong back and forth between
the interfaces which is guaranteed to cause problems.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>You are redirecting traffic from the local system out of one
interface or the other using packet marking in your
<filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> file. A better approach
is to configure the application to use the appropriate local IP
address (the IP address of the interface that you want the
application to use). See <link linkend="Local">below</link>.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>If all else fails, remove the <emphasis
role="bold">routefilter</emphasis> option from your external interfaces.
If you do this, you may wish to add rules to log and drop packets from
the Internet that have source addresses in your local networks. For
example, if the local LAN in the above diagram is 192.168.1.0/24, then
you would add this rule:</para>
<programlisting>#ACTION SOURCE DEST
DROP:info net:192.168.1.0/24 all</programlisting>
<para>Be sure the above rule is added before any other rules with
<emphasis>net</emphasis> in the SOURCE column.</para>
</section>
<section id="Example1">
<title id="Example">Example</title>
<para>The configuration in the figure at the top of this section would
be specified in <filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> as

<para>Regardless of whether you have masqueraded hosts or not, the
following entries are required in

<para>Those entries ensure that traffic originating on the firewall and
redirected via packet marks always has the source IP address

<title>Applications running on the Firewall</title>
<para>Experience has shown that in some cases, problems occur with
applications running on the firewall itself. This is especially true
when you have specified <emphasis role="bold">routefilter</emphasis> on
your external interfaces in /etc/shorewall/interfaces (see <link
linkend="Martians">above</link>). When this happens, it is suggested
that you have the application use specific local IP addresses rather
than 0.</para>
<para>Examples:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Squid: In <filename>squid.conf</filename>, set <emphasis
role="bold">tcp_outgoing_address</emphasis> to the IP address of the
interface that you want Squid to use.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>In OpenVPN, set <emphasis role="bold">local
</emphasis>(<emphasis role="bold">--local</emphasis> on the command
line) to the IP address that you want the server to receive
connections on.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Note that some traffic originating on the firewall doesn't have a
SOURCE IP address before routing. At least one Shorewall user reports
that an entry in <filename>/etc/shorewall/route_rules</filename> with
'lo' in the SOURCE column seems to be the most reliable way to direct
such traffic to a particular ISP.</para>

<section id="IPSEC">
<title>IPSEC</title>
<para>If you have an IPSEC gateway on your firewall, be sure to arrange
for ESP packets to be routed out of the same interface that you have
configured your keying daemon to use.</para>

<section id="route_rules">
<title>/etc/shorewall/route_rules</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/shorewall/route_rules</filename> file was added
in Shorewall version 3.2.0. The <filename>route_rules</filename> file
allows assigning certain traffic to a particular provider just as
entries in the <filename>tcrules</filename> file. The difference between
the two files is that entries in <filename>route_rules</filename> are
independent of Netfilter.</para>
<section id="Routing_rules">
<title>Routing Rules</title>
<para>Routing rules are maintained by the Linux kernel and can be
displayed using the <command>ip rule ls</command> command. When
routing a packet, the rules are processed in turn until the packet is
successfully routed.</para>
<programlisting>gateway:~ # <command>ip rule ls</command>
0: from all lookup local &lt;=== Local (to the firewall) IP addresses
