Routing Multiple Inbound IP Addresses -- How?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Ok, I think I see what you're going for.

In the below examples, I assume that you have an external ip, 1.2.3.4,
which you want to route to 192.168.0.1, and a second external ip,
5.6.7.8, that you want to route to 192.168.0.2. I also assume that
your network device connected to the dsl modem is eth0.

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 --source 1.2.3.4 -j DNAT
--to-destination 192.168.0.1

and

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 --source 5.6.7.8 -j DNAT
--to-destination 192.168.0.2

Note 1:, I know I'm using incorrect number ranges for the external ip
addresses.

Note 2: This might have line wrapped, so be sure to check for that if
doing cut and paste.

Note 3: I obviously haven't tested this, but it should work in theory,
as far as I understand iptables syntax. If you get errors, let me or
the list know, and I'll try to resolve them. Hth.
