And I have looked over some of the documentation. Basically there is no current firewall policies. Just want anything coming in on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:443 (Internet Machine) to be routed to 10.10.1.110:443 (Internal Lan Machine). Looks like I need to mangle the packet header so that the Lan machine thinks that the Internet machine is sending the packet and then have the Internet machine redirect the packet to the client. Client again being someone on the Internet. Not sure if this can be done or not. Correct me if I am wrong. -- Thank you, Brad Dameron
