hmm..i didnt touch multi isp settings for quite some time but i tried
my best here. based on your first post, i think that you had divided
some number of services to these 2 ISPs. Do you mind to show us
tcrules file or maybe a more complete shorewall configs as
attachments?
as far as i remember, i had no problem with dividing ports on multiple
ISPs. If my ISP1 is down, i still can access the port numbers assigned
to ISP2 for example, port 6667 for irc and port 21 for ftp. by the
way, i think that i enabled both dns requests on both ISPs, cant
really remember. it''s almost 6 months ago. :P
hope this helps..!
