Hi, I am in the same scenario. My eth0 will have a different address assigned by the isp, and a different internet valid pool assigned to us to use. The isp will route all traffic to our eth0 for the assigned pool. My question is that is it possible to DNAT the 'assigned' address pool into the Lan without having an interface with that address?
