Hi, I gave some points that i couldnt visualize. First question is related with the route command. Lets say i defined a local route as, route add 10.2.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.2.0.1 dev eth1 and while i am configuring iptables i wrote some rules: # delete all existing rules iptables -F iptables -t nat -F iptables -t mangle -F iptables -X # set default policies iptables -P INPUT DROP iptables -P FORWARD DROP iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p ALL -d 10.2.0.0/24 -j DNAT --to 10.2.0.1 At this point i ask myself whether i need this rule, because i had already defined a route while configuring interfaces. So is there a relation between route definitions and prerouting, is it unnecessary to define a local route and try to the same thing with iptables? Second, i have a rule as, iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p ALL -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.4 is the ip of eth0 which is plugged to a gateway with the ip 192.168.1.3. If i send a package from eth1 to lets say 192.168.1.10, its destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.4. After this point, will it continue to 192.168.1.3? If yes how?
