I'm in the course of writing my thesis about connection tracking in netfilter, it's sad but I need help. So I'm asking for help you, the netfilter developers. Topic of my thesis is High Availability Firewall. We have two PC computers connected together. One computer act as firewall. The second one is "just in case" the first one broke down. If that happend the second one must take place of the first one and get informaction about all connections that was established. AFAIK I need to get connections from /proc/net/ip_conntrack on 1st computer and then put them in the same place on 2nd one. My question i how I can do that? Can I add new connection to ip_conntrack hash table by calling some function(s)? I'm not well programer so please dont be mad on me ;). I was googling and searching linux source code for some clue, and I'm pretty sure that I need to modify ip_conntrack hash table but I don't know how. So please help. Best regadrs
