The following mail was sent to the PF list but it bounced. Hope there are no problems :-)
Hi, I have two internet connections 1) Connected to "rl1" is the main one. 2) connected to "rl2" is the backup one. "sk0" is connected to the LAN interface. to switch between the connections I use a script that will replace the "/etc/pf.conf" with the appropriate file from below. 1) /etc/pf-confs/pf.conf.internet-connection-main 2) /etc/pf-confs/pf.conf.internet-connection-bkp in the first file "ext_if" is "rl1" in the second file "ext_if" is "rl2" the problem is now I am going to have authpf users who will authenticate from the outside world. as I have to define the interfaces in the "authpf.rules" file if i put ext_if = "rl1" then as I switch to the second internet connection external interface becomes "rl2" and authpf will not work unless i re write the "authpf.rules" file also for all rules too. how do i solve this situation easily? thankyou so much kind regards siju
