Re: Firewall configuration with two ISP

[DI Peter Burgstaller <peter@ains.at>]

I had the same problem when we switched from one ISP ot the other I was running
both for a couple of months.

Turned out that, as Jeremy Lunn suggested, that my new ISP wouldn't allow
IPs from a different Net be routed through his net, which is of course very
sensible and right. However, in my case it was the only way to get my setup
working so after long discussions with the admins they would allow only the
one IP address of my multi-homed machine in their net which solved the problem.

I'm aware of the implications it had then but it was only a temporal matter
in my case.

- cheers, Peter
