Shorewall users - Jan 2014 - Headaches with tcrules/shorewall on Multi ISP, Ubuntu Server 12.04, Shorewall 4.4.26.1

Hi Guys,

just to keep you from testing and finding issues where marking does not
work correctly with Multi ISP, Ubuntu Server 12.04, Shorewall 4.4.26.1.

State: shorewall installed fine and is starting without errors.
But then:

1. If "shorewall show routing" will give you errors. Then take a look
   (I did it too late ;-) at the shorewall support page
   "Problem Resolving Guide"->3.->b.

2. I do have 3 providers, two real providers and one load balancing and
   bandwidth aggregation with a bonding interface. Routing by rules
   to the 2 providers via marks in tcrules worked perfectly. Marking for
   the bond interface did not work at all. It took me 2 days to find out
   that for this to work, you MUST have ROUTE_FILTER=No.

Hope this helps someone.

Cheers,
Matt
