Hi charles, Obviously alternative = 2 for your case. To make it work there must be "bind" call from the local daemons. If bind call is problem then one is (modifiled)(B) (ModB) Here why you using POSTROUTING instead of OUTPUT for SNAT ? for arp and icmp i'm adding a suggestion and i say solution (D) ;-) (D) use arptable for arp and then use ROUTE target for arp/ICMP.
