Hi João, I too was requiring this for a server of ours; but not for the exact same reason, ours was to implement a capture portal. I did try to compile the patch you mentioned into ip6tables 1.4.10 but part of the patch that I had a copy of was incomplete, further due to my limited knowledge of the code netfilter is built on, I couldn't make a work-around. I posted to this list some time back asking if only the REDIRECT component of NAT would be implemented, perhaps not in a NAT table, but rather as a -j target of the mangle table; just a suggestion; but I can't recall getting any definitive responses. The majority of the responses I did get suggested to use TPROXY instead of redirect, but in my particular case, that didn't work properly and seemed to have much more overhead than the redirect target. Hopefully someone out there in the dev team will understand our plight and perhaps incorporate this important target. Cheers. Steve. Steve Noorderbroek C.T.O.

I know that with IPv6 we are not supposed to have NAT anymore but i have a problem that a need to solve and the REDIRECT of iptables was the solution for it in IPv4. The scenario is the following I have one application running in machine A, and a server also in machine A. I am sending one request from the application to the server. I need to make this request pass through another machine first and only then land on the server. I could do this by adding a redirect rule to redirect the traffic using the port. I found the patch on http://lwn.net/Articles/468671/ Was the patch applied in any version of iptables?
