OK well you have to write the rules a little differently then. You can write it this way which redirects ALL port 80/443 including the other IP (4.3.2.1), then add a rule for the 1 address (4.3.2.1) and redirect that to 10.1.1.2 example below.... # Redirect for this one IP to it's server iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i $EXTDEV -d 4.3.2.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT 10.1.1.2 # Everything else goes to 10.1.1.1 server. iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i $EXTDEV -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT 10.1.1.1 does that make better sense now..??

So what your doing is making everybody browse 10.1.1.1 but yourself coming from a different source IP outside to view a different webserver?? right?? Yes and no. I actually hadn't thought of it that way. The idea was to be able to split up multiple sites on different servers each using Apache's virtual hosts, say 10 or so per server. Thanks a bunch for the help.

I currently have 5 static IP addresses and would like to know if it is possible to alias all 5 addresses on the inet_iface and then forward to different machines on the lan_iface based on destination IP. For instance, there are 3 web servers on the lan say 10.1.1.1 - 10.1.1.3 and I want all port 80/443 that comes to the netfilter machine on the inet_address 1.2.3.4 to go to lan_address 10.1.1.1 and all port 80/443 from inet_address 4.3.2.1 to forward to 10.1.1.2 etc. Is this possible? If so, how about a point in the right direction. TIA Matt
