HA firewall providing "masquerade": SNAT the only way to go?

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

 



Hi,

I want to setup a firewall HA cluster providing SNAT/Masquerade for
clients.

>From `man iptables-extensions` (1.6.1, kernel 4.19) I know that it is
not possible to specify a src addr for `-j MASQUERADE`, but `SNAT`
provides `--to-source`. And `MASQUERADE` only uses the first/primary
address of the outgoing interface, right?

So SNAT is the only option here?

Question: The cluster would run as active/backup, and in case of an
fail-over it would simply sync internal and external caches and
fail-over the secondary (virtual) address?

Are there any other options?

In case you have documentation on this topic on hand, could you send me
link, as I was unable to find any for this particular use case :/

Thanks,
Bernd
