Hi guys, I have a cluster, among them one act as a gateway and the others are the servers. I want to program 2 modules: a DNAT module on gateway so it will forward TCP requests to the back end servers and a SNAT module on the back servers so the servers will send packets to client directly, not back through the gateway again. I can not use iptables command cause it is static distribute during the runtime and the packets go back to gateway under this configuration. do you guys have a successful example to show how to on-the-fly change IP address and port to forward a pakcet?
