Hello:
I am new to the list. I am currently using iptables to
redirect traffic on eth0 for ports 80 and 443, to ports 8080 and 8443,
respectively. I have request to set up another DNS name for this server
and to redirect entries coming to port 443 for this new DNS name to port
8444. I think that one way of doing this would be to define a device
alias, say eth0:1, assign it a new IP address and associate the new DNS
name with that new IP. I could then use iptables to redirect traffic on
eth0:1, port 443 to port 8444. I was just wondering if iptables
recognizes/supports device aliases or if there is a better way of
accomplishing the same thing. Another option would be to use the second
physical interface (eth1) on the box, if device aliases is not
supported.
I forgot to include the current rules, they follow:

Thanks very much,
