An SNAT & a DNAT rule didn't work for me, and I'm too dumb to know what to do next. Behind our firewall which NATs everything, I have a server (A) with one IP 1.2.3.4 that needs to be reachable also thru a second IP like 10.5.6.7. The application won't support adding an alias IP. If I give the second IP to box B's eth0, can iptables make box B emulate an alias IP for box A? It only has to work for port 80 traffic but be nice if it did more. I was trying to do something like this on box B (from error-prone memory, with B's address 10.5.6.7): > iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.5.6.7 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DNAT --to 1.2.3.4:80 > iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d 1.2.3.4 -p tcp --dport 80 -j SNAT --to 10.5.6.7 any ideas will be appreciated.
