Hi Guillermo,
iptables just does not likes eth0:1 neither eth0:2, is this the right behaviour of iptables or what? i read something about NAT in advance routing engine but never used before and i'm little confuse on how it works. Will it crash with iptables NAT engine?
As far as I know, the ethX:X terminology is just for ifconfig usage. Inside the kernel, eth0:1 is exactly the same as eth0. So for iptables rules, you just use the eth0:1 IP address with eth0. this is the same way the 'ip' tool works too.
Regards, Damion.
