Hi,
Can iptables NAT or handle nodes that have static IP address not on the =
same subnet as the iptable box, also with different gateway =
configuration and different DNS config?
Overview
A linux box with iptable acts as a gateway to connect several clients to =
the Internet. However, the clients behind this gateway have static IP =
addresses and different gateway and dns configuration. Lets assume that =
changing their network configurations are not possible.=20
Can iptables handle this sort of networking?
