I'm testing a firewall setup on my home system. Principle network connection is the internal modem of my desktop. I'm trying to route through my firewall box instead. While I can set up the network and add a default gw through the firewall, I don't seem to be able to remove the default entry corresponding to the ppp connection from my desktop. "route delete default gw <dialup-fqdn>" just hangs. Am I doing the right thing? Is this necessary? Ideally, I'd like to have the FW be the primary gateway, but use the second modem connection on an ad-hoc basis. I assume I'll need to do some sort of serial balancing or juggle with metrics to do this.... Typical routing table below: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface sji-ca-pm1.icg. * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 introspect * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default sji-ca-pm1.icg. 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 Hmmm... thought occurs that "sji-ca-pm1.icg." is truncated. Might that be a part of the problem? -- Karsten M.
