I am not too worried about security of designs (no need for VPN). I just want only the client's IP to access it. Right now I have, -A PREROUTING -d 5.6.7.8 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.10.10.3 5.6.7.8 is my external IP of the DMZ machine. I am afraid if I give it as, -A PREROUTING -s 1.2.3.4 -d 5.6.7.8 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.10.10.3 it will block access from my local LAN also via. the squid proxy and yes the gateway (squid proxy) machine does have 3 cards.
