Hello,
how can I setup a forwarding rule with ipchains that a connect to host A is redirected to the Apache-SSL webserver listening on host B.
I want to have a transparent forwarding. The user should enter the address from host A in his browser and the webserver from host B should answer the requests.
The webserver on host B is listening to all addresses at the specific port 423.
So at the moment I try with
ipmasqadm autofw -A -v -r tcp 423 423 -h "${IP from host B}"
on host A.If I try to connect https://IP_host_A:423/ I get a connection timeout.
I've just dumped the traffic with ethereal. First there is an ICMP Redirect. The browser sends a SYN request to the right host B from port 2090 to 423. Host B answers with a SYN ACK to browser host from 423 to 2090. After this browser sends a reset from 2090 to 423 at host B.
Why there is a reset? This match goes on for a few tries and a last reset from browser host.
Do you have any ideas for a solution?
thx so long
