Hi, Here's the solution for your awkward scenario. It involves using kvm/qemu guests like in the diagram http://cat.piasta.pl/awkward_solution.jpeg After implementing this configuration host system should be able to access devices on ip addressess 10.(1,2,3).0.3 * Config on v1: ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 dev eth1 ip addr add 10.1.0.2/24 dev eth0 ip ro add default via 10.1.0.1 enable ipv4 forwarding iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.1.0.3 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.1 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.1 -j SNAT --to 10.1.0.3 * Config on v2: ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 dev eth1 ip addr add 10.2.0.2/24 dev eth0 ip ro add default via 10.2.0.1 enable ipv4 forwarding iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.2.0.3 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.1 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.1 -j SNAT --to 10.2.0.3 * Config on v3: ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 dev eth1 ip addr add 10.3.0.2/24 dev eth0 ip ro add default via 10.2.0.1 enable ipv4 forwarding iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d 10.3.0.3 -j DNAT --to 10.0.0.1 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.1 -j SNAT --to 10.3.0.3 * Config on host system start kvms to get tap devices up ip addr add 10.1.0.1/24 dev tap0 ip addr add 10.2.0.1/24 dev tap2 ip addr add 10.3.0.1/24 dev tap4 brctl addbr br0 ip link set up dev br0 brctl addif br0 tap1 brctl addif br0 eth1 brctl addbr br1 ip link set up dev br1 brctl addif br1 tap3 brctl addif br1 eth2 brctl addbr br2 ip link set up dev br2 brctl addif br1 tap5 brctl addif br1 eth3 echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/bridge/bridge-nf-call-iptables Best regards, Marek -- 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
