We don't have enough public IP's but we want to have several real servers for different customers (SSH, Mail, etc.) in the private subnet.

I also plan to switch from Microsoft ISA Server to an Open-Source-Solution with Linux. The solution can be simply done for webservers, but we need a solution for several services.

I try to figure out the problem with a simple example:
        host1.domain.net  IN  A  1.2.3.4
        host2.domain.net  IN  A  1.2.3.4
The gateway (1.2.3.4) should dynamicaly open a tunnel to
        192.168.0.1 if the query is for host1.domain.net
and to
        192.168.0.2 if the query is for host2.domain.net

If you need more details feel free to ask.

My question is really what is the purpose?  Are these webservers?  Do they
have different services?  You could use apache with mod_proxy for
webservices...

If you can give a few other details as to what you are trying to accomplish,
I might be able to help a bit more.

Hi there,

I want to setup a gateway / firewall solution with Gentoo. The network has following structure:

Several host (host[1,...,x].domain.net) are defined within the DNS and all of them have the same A-Record with the IP 1.2.3.4 The gateway is listening on its external network interface with the IP 1.2.3.4 and has an internal interface with a private subnet (192.168.0.0/24). The hosts (host[1,...,x].) are addressed in this subnet.

How can it be solved, that the gateway opens a tunnel to the special host in the private subnet (let.s say 192.168.0.3) if there is a query for host3.domain.net?

In my opinion this cannot be done because the client queries the DNS and simply opens the connection to the IP 1.2.3.4 and the gateway has now hints how to decide to which internal host the tunnel should be opened.

But this setup is possible because Microsoft ISA Server exactly does this job!

I have no idea how to solve this. First idea was a kernel bridge between the interfaces.

Do you have any hints for me?

Thanks a lot!

Andreas
