Thanks to some help from Philip Craig of SnapGear, I'm still alive on this issue of UDP broadcast helping using iptables. The next problem is creating the stateless NAT that I need. My first choice would be to do this with iproute2 but it appears to be broken in the 2.6 kernel. I next tried doing this by using the raw table and NOTRACK target for udp broadcasts on the needed port and then DNAT on the same packets to the unicast address. However, apparently NOTRACK disables NAT so that didn't work. When using conntrack for most packets, how does one disable conntrack for certain NAT packets only? In other words, how does one do selective, stateless NAT in iptables? Thanks - John -- John A.
