Hi there,

I currently have a multi-ISP config and it's working great.  Host is a
CentOS5.4 machine. Shorewall 4.4.19.1

I've been asked to add a new ISP which has a 1GB download limit during
certain hours.  When the cap is hit my users want to switch traffic to
another, shared ISP.

I was planning on just issuing some iptables commands to tag the traffic
for ISP#1 during the on time and ISP#2 during the off time, the same way an
entry in tcrules would.

The question is really how does connection tracking enter this mix and how
can it be avoided?

Can I turn off connection tracking where the source is 192.168.0.0/24 and
the destination is !RFC1918 but still have tracking where the source is
192.168.0.0/24 and the destination is RFC1918?  Presumably I'd have to add
an entry in the notrack file for each ISP interface like.  Assuming ISP1 on
eth1.9 and ISP2 on eth1.5:

eth1.7:192.168.0.0/24     eth1.9:!(10.0.0.0/8,192.168 ... etc...)
eth1.7:192.168.0.0/24     eth1.5:!(10.0.0.0/8,192.168 ... etc...)

Any suggestions are most welcome,
Lee Brown
