Summary

0001554: The settings for MultiWAN Backup Only stop static routes between LAN and backup WAN working

Description

My primary Internet connection (12 Mb/s) is via PPPoE through eth2 to a VDSL modem which gets FTTC Internet over the phone wire (ppp0). I also have another connection through eth1 to my local community wireless network (2 Mb/s), which I also administer. The wireless router connected to eth1 is at 192.168.50.1.

I followed the instructions at http://www.clearcenter.com/support/documentation/clearos_guides/set_multiwan_to_backup_mode_instead_of_balance_mode [^] to set ppp0 as the primary Internet connection, and eth1 as the bckup.
My multiwan.conf looks like this:

MULTIPATH="off"
MULTIPATH_WEIGHTS="eth1|1 ppp0|1"
EXTIF_BACKUP="eth1"

I have static routes set up in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1:
172.16.0.0/16 via 192.168.50.1
10.251.0.0/16 via 192.168.50.1
192.168.101.0/24 via 192.168.50.1
192.168.102.0/24 via 192.168.50.1
192.168.103.0/24 via 192.168.50.1

With the above settings, I can connect to the above static routed ip addresses from the clearos machine, but any attempt to connect to them from the LAN fails. On the LAN, traceroute to (e.g.) 10.251.1.1 gets to clearos, then no more responses. Traceroute to 192.168.50.1 doesn't even get a reply from clearos.

Steps To Reproduce
