Hi,

I would like to clarify a doubt on the configuration of the archive
"providers" :

I have two DSL links both are dedicated :

Link1:  200.163.191.58   (ppp0)
Gw1:   200.180.128.228

Link2:  200.163.190.41   (ppp1)
Gw2:    200.180.128.228

(Yes both gateway are equal)

I don''t do balance betwen the links.

My "/etc/shorewall/provider"  is like this :

LinkNAV        1       1       main    ppp0    200.180.128.228 track   -
LinkVPN        2       2       main    ppp1    200.180.128.228 track   -

When I try to start shorewall the folowing appears in the log and don''t
start :

Processing /etc/shorewall/providers...
RTNETLINK answers: File exists

If I change the config like this :

LinkNAV        1       1       -    ppp0    200.180.128.228 track   -
LinkVPN        2       2       -    ppp1    200.180.128.228 track   -

The shorewall start but some obscure things happen, certainly because routing
problems.


There''s a hint to use the configurantion of multilink in shorewall
(providers),
having 2  equal gateways ?

I already looked for in the FAQ''s and the documentation :
http://www.shorewall.net/Shorewall_and_Routing.html
http://www.shorewall.net/MultiISP.html

without sucess....


Thanks a lot.
