I''m trying to plan out a new configuration for our new multi-isp setup. Part of what is confusing me is the asymmetry between the two setups. Our current ISP provides us with a router and our first public IP is used by its LAN port. Our new provider is not providing a router and I want to user our shorewall box as the router. I have 4 ports on it (currently configured for local, dmz, and net) and was planning on using the 4th for the new provider. It will be part of a /30 subnet connecting to our ISP. We also have a /27 subnet for public IPs. So my thought is something like: ISP1/27 ISP2/30 |p2p1 |p2p2 +-----------------------+ | firewall/router |---em2 dmz 192.168.201.1/29 | | ISP2/27 +-----------------------+ |em1 loc 10.10.0.1/16 We use nat for some servers on the local network and will want to have similar entries for the new ISP. Does this work? For outgoing packets, what external address is used? #EXTERNAL INTERFACE INTERNAL ALL LOCAL # INTERFACES ISP1/27 addr p2p1 10.10.X.X No No ISP2/27 addr em2 10.10.X.X No No The current dmz addresses for ISP1 are handled through proxyarp, but I figure the new ISP2 addresses could be used directly there. I''ll want the vast majority of traffic to go through ISP2, but some targeted services to use ISP1 and to have ISP1 as a fail-over. Haven''t started looking at that yet in detail.
