Re: Odd issue with two SNATed Firewalls and Wireless router

No, that's not my real net.

let's say my real net is 1.2.3.0/24, so I have this

cisco sync0    5.6.7.9/30    (internet)
cisco eth0     1.2.3.1/24
linux eth0     1.2.3.10/24   gw 1.2.3.1

linux eth1     1.2.3.129/27
remote router  1.2.3.130/27  gw 1.2.3.129

as I understood I should be doing something like this

cisco sync0    5.6.7.9/30    (internet)
cisco eth0     1.2.3.1/27
linux eth0     1.2.3.10/27   gw 1.2.3.1

linux eth1     1.2.3.129/27
remote router  1.2.3.130/27  gw 1.2.3.129

I told you I was not using iptables because I didn't think it was part of the problem but, 
as a matter of fact, I do. I'm doing nat on eth0 using (again) 1.2.3.17/24 so linux eth0 was

linux eth0     1.2.3.10/24
linux eth0     1.2.3.17/24 secondary

and as I you say, this worst things, thouhgt; finally the right configuration would be:

cisco sync0    5.6.7.8/30    (internet)
cisco eth0     1.2.3.1/27
linux eth0     1.2.3.10/27   gw 1.2.3.1
linux eth0     1.2.3.17/27   secondary

linux eth1     1.2.3.129/27
remote router  1.2.3.130/27  gw 1.2.3.129

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 10.10.2.0/24 -j SNAT --to 1.2.3.17


right? is this simplier? do you think using /24 at eth0 could be affecting the smtp?

the main problem is at 1.2.3.130 : this is a small router doing nat using 1.2.3.130, but the 
pc's behind it could´t reach an internet mail server


thx !!!!
