I thought it could be due to PMTU, so I followed your suggestion and set 
CLAMPMSS=Yes.

After restarting shorewall the following command would get only 1 packet reply 
(the first one). Everything else would be left unanswered.
ping -n -I $IF_ISP1 8.8.8.8
(run on the shorewall gateway)

So I also tried to set CLAMPMSS=4012 or whichever value I had in the ppp links.
I would still get the same ping results.

Also, if I did a "shorewall clear" the same ping tests would succeed.

I did a shorewall dump during these tests. Unfortunately, I got cut off later 
so I can't access the dump file just yet. I'll send it asap.

I finally tried to revert to my eth-only setup, moved back to CLAMPMSS=No. 
However, I'd still get the same erroneous ping results even after rebooting the 
shorewall gateway. I still have to find out how to undo what CLAMPMSS=Yes did.

Anyway, I'll send the dump asap.

Thanks,

Vieri
