-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I am trying to setup iptables to transparently redirect out-bound traffic to any host on port 25 to instead go to IP address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd on port 25. So, after doing some searching with google, and some playing around, I have the following line in my firewall script: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -o $eth0 --dport 25 -j DNAT - --to-source aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd When I run my firewall script to make the new changes take effect, I get no errors, but I still don't get the desired effect (I.E. doing telnet speech.braille.uwo.ca 25 for example, still gives me Trying 129.100.109.30... instead of Trying aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd... Can someone please show me what I'm doing wrong, because everything looks right to me, (although it obviously isn't), and I'm out of ideas. BTW, I'd prefer to use a full host name in iptables, instead of the IP address, however, I get an error when I try that. Am I missing something here as well? Thanks for any help in advance.
