Hi, I would like to forward tcp connection to port 8000 to ports 8080 and 8081 on the same machine in order to load balance HTTP request to two processes. So I'va add the following rule iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 8000 -m state --state NEW -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080-8081 I think that the first connection will be forwarded to 8080 and the sencond to 8081 and so on. But when I connect to the port 8000 the connection is always redirected to the same port 8080. Is my thought wrong ? regads, olivier. here is some information on my linux box # uname -a Linux mowgli.lannion.citypassenger.com 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:18:24 EST 2003 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux # iptables --version iptables v1.2.7a
