>"-j DNAT" is not intended to DNAT to localhost. The REDIRECT target is >for this. From "man iptables": I guess this has to do with the recent 2.6.11->12 change that there is no more implicit SNAT on -j DNAT, right? (Before, -j REDIRECT --to-ports ports was equal to -j DNAT --to-dest 127.0.0.1:ports) Jan Engelhardt -- | Alphagate Systems, http://alphagate.hopto.org/
