Hi, Not sure where to post this. I don''t think it''s a Shorewall problem but I''m hoping that one of you has come across this before and know how to fix it. I''m pretty sure it''s a kernel thing and I''ve posted it on the CentOs forum as well but though it couldn''t hurt to post it here as well. I have 6 CentOS 5.x boxes using various hardware from HP Proliant servers down to a couple of Fabiatech embedded systems running as firewalls using Shorewall to configure iptables and all using multiple WAN links. In all cases I can route traffic at will down the different WAN interfaces. My problem now is I have a couple of AMD Geode LX-800 based devices that CentOS 5.x just will not install on due to CPU support from what I can tell. My only option seems to have been to install CentOS 4.x, in this case 4.8. I''ve copied across my normal configuration but I just cannot get traffic to route down the second NIC. I know the configuration of Shorewall is good as the exact same configuration is running on all these other boxes and one of the boxes has 6 WAN interfaces so I know the Shorewall side is good. I''m guessing that there must be a kernel setting or module that isn''t correct. I know that the 4.8 box doesn''t support hi-marks in the providers file but other than that I can''t work out where the problem is. Please can someone help? Please let me know what config details you want me to post and I''ll put them up? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I''ll be able to double check tomorrow but I think it''s running kernel-0-2.6.9-89.

You said that you are having problems "getting traffic to route down the second NIC". What does that mean, exactly? Is this a multi-ISP configuration? -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
