As I read this, you do not need a providers file at all.

What you need to do depends very heavily on how you get your IPs from the ISP - 
and for some combinations you will not be able to assign one of the IPs to a 
different interface. This is nothing to do with Shorewall, but is determined by 
basic IP addressing and routing.

So, can you explain *exactly* what your ISP gives^H^H^H^H^Hsells you, IP 
address wise ?

Combinations I've had :

1) The basic link (PPPoA or ethernet) gets an IP address, a further subnet (not 
including the link address) is provided which is routed over that link. This is 
good as the IP subnet can be used very flexibly.

2) An IP subnet is provided, but your endpoint has to use one of them as it's 
link address. Depending on the system this can make using the other IPs more 
restricted. Eg, with an ethernet interface, the ISP's equipment expects to be 
able to send ARP requests for each address and get an answer so you need to use 
Proxy-ARP (http://shorewall.net/ProxyARP.htm) if you don't want to just apply 
the subnet to the outside interface of your firewall/router (and add all the 
addresses as aliases). But with PPPo[A|E] the ISP just squirts the packets up 
the pipe and it's a lot easier to use the IPs on other interfaces.

3) A single IP for the link is provided, with further 'random' IPs provided. 
Again, it depends on the ISP's equipment as to how you can use these additional 
IPs.

That's why we need to know *exactly* what you are being provided with in order 
to help.
