Hello, Noino a écrit :
Searching found that, maybe, a kernel option : CONFIG_IP_NF_NAT_LOCAL should be necessary for PAT to work on the local host; can you confirm that it would indeed work if I were to recompile my kernel with that option set ?
I confirm. On 2.6 kernels < 2.6.11 and 2.4 kernels < 2.4.29 this option must be enabled in order to do local NAT on loopback.
Further search seemes to imply that this option was removed from later kernels altogether, which gets even more confusing...
In later kernels the local NAT ability is still present but is not optional any more, so you do not have to bother about it.
