Just don't DNAT/SNAT packets from the internal network to your public IPs, there is no need for it anyway. e.g. do something like this before your other DNATs $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/16 -p tcp -d $HOST_E -j RETURN Plus, of course, you need to allow access to that IP/port from the internal network in the INPUT chain of the filter table. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
