G'day folks,
I have a client with a slightly out-of-date Debian (2.1 running a 2.0.36
kernel) box wanting to use ipfwadm (2.3.0) to allow access to one of their
internal (RFC1597 addressed) boxes from outside hosts. This diagram
should show what I mean...
+--------+ ppp0+---------+eth0 +----------+
|Internet| <----> | gateway | <----> | internal |
| hosts | | box | | server |
+--------+ +---------+ +----------+
TCP port 80 TCP port 80
So, any request hitting the gateway at port 80 should be forwarded to the
internal server - again at port 80 - with replies being correctly handled.
Now, using various products, I could handle this easily but I've not used
ipfwadm before. Any help would be much appreciated.
Ciao.
