Good day dear list! I''m looking for solution to balance internet traffic through several ISPs. Almost every IPS load-balancing guide, including shorewall one''s [1] quotes this: "Note that balancing will not be perfect, as it is route based, and routes are cached. This means that routes to often-used sites will always be over the same provider." [2] Occasionally I''ve ran into RATEEST iptables module that seems to actually balance the _load_ between several interfaces. But I have not found anything regarding RATETEST support in Shorewall. Does Shorewall supports RATEEST? Thanks!
