newbie: forward rule to itself

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Let's say I have server1 with two ports, eth0 and eth0, and server2 whose eth0 port is connected to server1's eth1. And let's say the subnet between them is 192.168.1.0/24 while the one server1's eth0 is connected to is 192.168.4.0/24.

I have the following rules to forward port 6969 coming on eth0 on server1 to port 6969 on server2's eth0:

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 6969 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.server2:6969 iptables -A INPUT -d 192.168.4.server1 -p tcp -m tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 6969 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Any machine in 192.168.4.0/24 seems to be able to get to server2 by using 192.168.1.server1:6969. But, if I try to connect to 192.168.1.server1:6969 on server1 itself, I will not be forwarded to server2. What am I missing here?
