Summary	0000993: Access to local WAN network should be permitted even when WAN is offline

Revision	2013-02-25 20:56 by user2
Description	In some circumstances, access equipment directly connected to a WAN is necessary even when offline. Consider example: - WAN1 / eth1 @ 2.2.2.2 with gateway 2.2.2.1 - WAN2 / eth2 @ 3.3.3.3 with gateway 3.3.3.1 - LAN / eth3 @ 192.168.99.x If WAN1 goes offline, it should be possible to still access the gateway at 2.2.2.1. Currently, that access fails due to masquerading/routing. When WAN1 is offline, traffic from the LAN (192.168.99.x) to 2.2.2.1 is not masqueraded. When the 2.2.2.1 system sends the reply, it will sent it out its default gateway (not back to 2.2.2.2).

Description	In some circumstances, access equipment directly connected to a WAN is necessary even when offline. Consider example: - WAN1 / eth1 @ 192.168.55.6 with gateway 192.168.55.1 - WAN2 / eth2 @ 10.0.0.6 with gateway 10.0.0.1 If WAN1 goes offline, it should be possible to still access the gateway at 192.168.55.1. Currently, that access fails.
