[Astlinux-devel] WAN Failover

[David K. <da...@ke...>]

Starting a thread among developers on this topic to record some
observations.  Now on day two of no power or internet and having got WAN
failover working yesterday I have some observations...

Status page still shows my eth0 IPv4 address, which is 192.168.100.10
issued by my cable modem as external network down.

WAN failover status shows 192.168.100.1 as (bogus) primary gateway and
172.20.10.1 as accurate.  But what is needed is external IP address.

My ddclient uses eth0 as the external IPv4 address.  So my dynamic DNS
updates are all failing/bogus.  Either I change to use an external site to
determine my IP, or I do something in WAN failover script to change what
ddclient does.  Any thoughts as to best approach?  I want something
automatic that will work whether using primary or failover.

I turn off my generator overnight and run network from a large UPS.
According to syslog Astlinux decided to shutdown at 6am when upsmon
determined low battery.  I think it was at 20% left, but at that level I
still have 90-120 minutes of runtime left.  Is there a setting to change
when Astlinux does the shutdown?

Thoughts?
