Debian Etch + Shorewall 4 + Multiple ISP failover with heartbeat

Hi!

I have a suggestion on fault tolerant firewall using Debian Etch, Squid and Shorewall 4 with Multiple ISP failover capability using heartbeat. Can anyone please write a HOWTO for it?

Thanks in advance.

 

Can you decribe the setup and its purpose in more detail?

 

Hi Falko,

I'm hoping to build a Debian Etch based Firewall/Gateway having multiple ISP (in my case I have 3 ISPs) with failover capability using heartbeat.

Here's what I hope to accomplish:

1. Multiple ISP - In case on ISP would fail, the rest will take over. And my Net servers are running inside a DMZ.

2. Heartbeat - I'm hoping to build 2 clustered machines for a gateway/firewall (cluster nodes) which will provide fault-tolerance and high availability on the network.

I'm also hoping that all servers under this network will all be clustered.

Thank you very much!

 

That'S not easy. Maybe you can make something up of these links:
