Hi,
I have the need to duplicate UDP packets arriving at a machine. They
need to be duplicated and sent of to both the original recipient and a
new recipient.
After some reading I came to the conclusion the -j ROUTE --tee
option to iptables is the way to go. Getting this to work for a novice
like me seems to be impossible.
Doing a man on my FC5 system shows --tee to be there under the ROUTE
extension and I quote from the man page
'iptables can use extended target modules: the following are included in
the standard distribution'
however using iptables results in
[root@nst2 ~]# /sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -p udp -d
192.168.3.77 --dport 9090 -j ROUTE --tee
iptables v1.3.5: Unknown arg `--tee'
locate libipt_ROUTE.so yields nothing which makes me believe the man
page was talking bollocks when claiming the extensions to be part of the
'standard distribution'
After further reading I came to the conclusion patch-o-matic needed to
be used to install the ROUTE module. going to netfilter extensions HOWTO
I see I have to get the latest update from CVS like in so
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvspublic login
but when I do this I get
[root@nst2 ~]# cvs -d :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvspublic login
Logging in to :pserver:cvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:2401/cvspublic
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: connect to
pserver.netfilter.org(213.95.27.115):2401 failed: Connection refused
so I really am giving up now after waisting enough time ... so any
experts out there willing to take me by the hand ??????
thanks
