Hello everyone-- I have what should be a simple configuration for proxy, but it doesn't seem to work, and I don't know why. I've reproduced the problem in multiple locations with different 2.4 kernels. Here's the test layout in ASCII (I hope you're using monospaced fonts!): |--Web server eth0 eth1 | 192.168.64.15/24 PC---------------Linux 2.4.19------- 172.16.1.2/30 172.16.1.1/30 | 192.168.64.1/24 |--Web server 192.168.64.5/24 My DNAT rule: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 172.16.1.2 -d 192.168.64.5 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.64.15 In tcpdump, I see the HTTP request come from the PC with a destination of .5 on eth0. I see the DNAT rule match in iptables -L -n -v -t nat. I see the HTTP request go on eth1 to .15 (DNAT rule works). I see the HTTP server at .15 reply to 172.16.1.2 on eth1. The data is dropped and never returned after that. The reply never appears on eth0. ip_conntrack shows SYN_SENT [UNREPLIED] on that connection. A few notes: 1) The PC can talk directly to .15's Web server with no problems. Routing is just fine. 2) If I configure .5 on the Linux box and ditch the second Web server, everything works normally. 3) The DNAT rule is the ONLY iptables rule in place. 4) I have no dynamic routing, proxy arp, route filters or other configurations in place. It's simple static routing. I'm stumped. Ultimately, I want to be able to take IP addresses for my customers and point any Web requests to a server that returns a page saying "Sorry, you didn't pay your bill." That's why #2 above won't work for me in the long run. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Doug __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
