Is amanda NAT friendly?if you are using linux and iptables, you probably need a line similar to the following after making sure you have the conntrack module loaded or built-in:
i.e. I have a tape server with a private ip address
(10.100.100.x) and I want to backup a server outside
of that space with a public ip. When the server
contacts the system with the public ip it gets nat'ed
to a different ip.
What I need to know is if everything occurs over the
one connection to amanda or if the client needs to
make a connection back (which, in this case, would
fail because it would be trying to contact the nat
address and would fail.

$IPT -A INPUT -p ALL -i $INET_IFACE -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
$IPT -A FORWARD -i $INET_IFACE -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
where $IPT is your iptables command (usually /usr/sbin/iptables) and $INET_IFACE is your internet interface.
This should keep track of the packets that go out and allow them back in.
