hi all, we have got new ip addresses - the old one's still exists so that i can migrate them to the new ones. the old ip's are directly assigned to the web/mail server (i know that this isn't good - but i havn't had a fireall at this time) - now i have a seperate firewall which has the new ip's assigned to it. Now i'd like to change the dns entries so that the traffic goes over the new ip's (a 4 MBit line ;-) ) - the problem i have is: when a packet on the new ip comes then it gets prerouted by the firewall to the webserver - the webserver gets the packet with the original source address - now to webserver wants to answer to the packet - but becuase of the old ip's the webserver have a default route with the old ip and try's to route the packet over the old gateway - and not back to the firewall... You know - that can't work. I am now searching for a solution for this problem. Can netfilter help me with this problem - or do i have to use iproute (i havn't ever done something with iproute) help me ? Can i mark the packet's so the the webserver can send them back in the right direction ? mfG Wolfi
