I think that there are only three ways that this is
going to work, and I don't think you're going to like
any of them...
1. Each host on your LAN that needs to access this
UNIX system will need a tunnel and filter to
allow the X session to create an (as far as the
GNAT Box knows) unsolicited inbound connection.
This will require an alias on the GNAT Box for
each of the hosts that access the UNIX system,
and when you start the X session you will set
the display address to the GNAT Box alias that
is tunneled to your particular X display.
2. Change to routable IP addresses on your LAN
and create filters to allow the UNIX systems to
create unsolicited inbound connections.
3. Set up a VPN between your GNAT Box and the
router or firewall that the UNIX system is
behind. This will allow the UNIX system to
address hosts on your LAN directly.
Anyone come up with an idea that I missed?
