it's said ipfilter can not do this kind of work. that's wrong. here is an example. let's say A.B.C.D1 is the LAN address and E.F.G.H is WAN address and A.B.C.D2 is the address of the internal web server which is published to the outside world. ipnat.rules rdr WAN 0/32 port 80 -> A.B.C.D2 port 80 tcp rdr LAN E.F.G.H/32 port 80 -> A.B.C.D2 port 80 tcp map LAN from A.B.C.D/24 to A.B.C.D2/32 port = 80 -> E.F.G.H/32 portmap tcp auto now http://E.F.G.H is accessible to the LAN users. quite simple, isn't it. but 2 problems arise. first, performance. m0n0 might be overloaded, because those packets need to be rewritten twice. second, WAN ip address. WAN ip address must be hard coded into the last two rules. when the WAN ip address is statically allocated, it's not a problem. however, for those who using dhcp/pptp/pppoe, their WAN ip address will change. that change must be tracked and ipnat rules must be modified upon that change. thus a script should be put into the mini-crontab to monitor the change, or somebody knows a better way? sorry for my poor english |
