Hi, I need some help with a routing/shaping setup that is a bit beyond my current linux routing knowledge. I've read the how-to and most of the related mailing list topics, but I still need some help to solve this problem. I've been asking questions on various lists, but it seems like the answers just add additional confusion. I decided to just describe what I'm trying to do with the hope that someone could point me in the right direction. I've read a fair bit about the 2.4 kernel and it seems that linux is capable of doing these things. I just need some help to get started. I think if I could get the actual problem translated into a working config, it would go a long way to helping me understand linux routing etc. Here is the needed config: Private net #1: 10.10.1.0 (Higher bandwidth priority) Private net #2: 10.10.2.0 Private net #3: 10.10.3.0 Private net #4: 10.10.4.0 Private net #5: 10.10.5.0 Public net: 67.65.229.0 Goal: 1. Route the five private networks to the T1. 2. Run dhcpd and hand out dynamic ip addresses to private nets #2-#5 3. Do bandwidth sharing giving net #1 a higher priority 4. Do the usual firewall stuff (ICMP limiting, DOS attacks, etc.) 5. Do traffic shaping for interactive traffic, www, etc. 6. Do NAT for the private nets with the ability to add a specific public to private ip mappings for net #1. 7. Set up public address pools for NAT on net #2-#5? We initially looked at a Cisco solution for this, but the price was simply to high. I have installed a RedHat 9 on a pc with a sufficient number of nics to do the job. I'm just trying to get the routing and NAT to work right now, but I'm not having much luck. Could anyone offer any advice on the best way to set this up? ip route 67.65.229.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 67.65.229.253 10.10.1.0/24 dev eth1 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.1.254 10.10.2.0/24 dev eth2 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.2.254 10.10.3.0/24 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.3.254 10.10.4.0/24 dev eth4 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.4.254 10.10.5.0/24 dev eth5 proto kernel scope link src 10.10.5.254 default via 67.65.229.254 dev eth0 I can ping addresses on all of the networks from the linux router machine, but I can't ping from one private network to another or the internet.
