Easiest solution: Apply both DNAT and SNAT at the same time. Add the following rule: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -m multiport --dport 25,110,143 -d 192.168.10.12 -s 192.168.10.0/24 -j SNAT --to <firewall-ip> Cheers, Ralf -- Ralf Spenneberg RHCE, RHCX Book: VPN mit Linux Book: Intrusion Detection für Linux Server http://www.spenneberg.com IPsec-Howto http://www.ipsec-howto.org Honeynet Project Mirror: http://honeynet.spenneberg.org
