So if you are not going to balance, what *are* you going to do? Route
everything out of one line? Specify where all traffic goes using entries
in /etc/shorewall/tcrules? You can''t just say "I don''t do
balance" without
having a plan for *exactly* how you plan to assign packets to your two lines.

"some obscure things happen" is not a problem report. Please submit
the
information requested at http://www.shorewall.net/support.htm (if you are
running Shorewall 3.x) or http://www.shorewall.net/2.0/support.htm (if you
are running Shorewall 2.x).
