-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
At my work, we have a very unstable firewall running on windows. (raptor). Well, the boss is sick of it flaking out every half hour or so. So, they asked me to setup a linux firewall. Ok, no problem. However, there is one catch, the raptor firewall does something strange. Here is the problem: (first here is the setup). development servers are on the 192.168.xxx.xxx network. developer workstations are on the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx network. default gateway for the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx is the router 10.xxx.xxx.1 firewall on 192.168.xxx.2 and 10.xxx.xxx.33 (which is the gateway to the development network.) The development servers use to be on the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx network, previously but then security demanded they be behind a firewall, so they got moved behind a firewall and put on the 192.168.xxx.xxx network. All fine up to here. However, the developers set things up in such a way that they still need to use the 10.xxx.xxx.xxx ip addresses of the development servers in order to access them. Currently the raptor firewall just forwards any requests for those machines old 10.xxx.xxx.xxx ip addresses to the corresponding 192.168.xxx.xxx addresses. I'm not sure if it's doing that via proxy arp bridging or what. What do I need to do to set this same thing up on linux? I've looked at proxy arp bridging, but I'm not sure if this is what I need, or if it will work.
