Hi,

Sorry I''ve sent the email before it was complete accidentally.

I''ve added "shorewall restart" to my /etc/ppp/ip-up.local
file.
Today the problem occured again; default routes are gone from the routing table.
"shorewall restart" from the ppp ip-up.local file did not solve the
problem.
But when I issued "shorewall restart" manually, the problem was
solved.

Maybe the ppp interface was not down-up. So ip-up.local was not invoked.
How else could the default routes be erased from routing table ?
