Hi,

Example info
------------
EXT interface:  ext.domain.com
PSN interface:  psn.domain.com
PRO interface:  pro.domain.com

server (PSN)    server.domain.com
external client extclient.domain.com
protected client        proclient.domain.com


Here is the situation.  When I connect from extclient.domain.com to
server.domain.com, my originating hostname (FQDN) is displayed correctly as
extclient.domain.com, as verified by typing "last -3 username".

However, when I connect from proclient.domain.com to server.domain.com, my
originating hostname is changed to psn.domain.com (since it comes thru the
PSN gateway).

We have some applications that use the originating hostname (FQDN) to
determine the client's access privileges.  However, all users are now listed
as orginating from psn.domain.com rather than their true client hostname.
Is there any way stop Gnatbox from overwriting the originating hostname with
the PSN's interface hostname?  Is this a DNS problem?  This is driving me
insane.

I believe the problem used to occur when connecting from EXT to PSN.
However, it's only happening now when I connect from PRO to PSN.

CORRECTION:  The first line in the previous paragraph is errant.  This issue
still exists when going from PRO to EXT, because the hostname is being
changed to the EXT interface's address (ext.domain.com).  Obviously, the
Gnatbox can't give away the internal address.  With Static Address mapping,
I'm able to get around this for specific servers on the PSN that have IP
Aliases setup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
