you enough background to use this material. Shorewall may make iptables

spoon-feed Linux policy routing to you (please remember that the user's

<para>Entries in <filename>/etc/shorewall/providers</filename> can

Use of <filename>/etc/shorewall/tcrules</filename> is not required for

select a unique MARK value for each provider so Shorewall can set up the

handled by the firewall itself or if it is routed or port-forwarded to a

system behind the firewall.</para>

<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>

(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 interfaces should be routed through the main table using entries
|

in <filename>/etc/shorewall/route_rules</filename> (see Example 2 <link

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>

<para>If you specify <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis>, then

'main' routing table with a load-balancing route among those

gateways where <emphasis role="bold">balance</emphasis> was

<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

and you will see messages like this:</para>

|
|
|
|
<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>You are specifying both the <emphasis

<para>You are redirecting traffic from the local system out of one

is to configure the application to use the appropriate local IP

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

<para>One of the drawbacks of the Mulit-ISP support as described in the

route rules such as described in <link linkend="Openvpn">one of the

<para>USE_DEFAULT_RT=Yes works around that problem by passing packets
