Dear all, My boss has need me to setup a DNAT at the gateway into a LAN server inside an IPSec VPN, which is not at the same network as the pub gateway. That create a big problem! I hope someone can help me! - The pub gateway is a RedHat 8.0 Linux with kernel 2.4.18, iptables 1.2.6a - 1.2.3.137 is the public ip at the pub gateway - 10.8.1.88 is the internal network address of the pub gateway - and 10.8.2.99 is the internal network of the LAN server - the vpn gateway at the LAN network is also the LAN gateway, has its own broadband connection connect to the Internet - We need to forward at least (will be more in the future) HTTP, FTP, PPTP traffic at 1.2.3.137 into the LAN server!! I try to draw the network config here: [Internet client] <--> (eth0:1.2.3.137) [pub gateway] (eth1:10.8.1.88)<-(VPN)-> [vpn gateway] (eth1:10.8.2.1) <-LAN->(eth0:10.8.2.99) LAN Server I've successfully make half the way by using DNAT and SNAT: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.137 -j DNAT --to 10.8.2.99 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 10.8.2.99 -j SNAT --to-source 10.8.1.88 Problems: - Internet client connect to 1.2.3.137 http can connect to the LAN server, browsing webpage is ok, but when doing a HTTP post upload it fails by hang a period of time and then browser report webpage not found! - Internet client connect to 1.2.3.137 ftp can connect to the LAN server, but ftp cannot start file transfer with both active/passive mode! - Internet client connect to 1.2.3.137 PPTP can connect to the LAN server and start the pptp vpn connection, strange?
