Hi,

in the documentation it is stated that I cannot use rdr as a reflector, i.e. 
if both in and out traffic go through the same interface. Now I wonder how 
solve the following situation.

I have a client application where I configure ip addresses of servers to 
contact. Problem is that the customer wants SSL and the application is not 
SSL-aware. So I want to use stunnel on the same machine for tunneling. But 
how do I now redirect the application requests (to the target ips) to my 
local stunnel ports. Based on the routing both application requests and final 
stunnel requests go via the same interface. I tried to use logical interfaces 
to fool ipf but ipnat does not accept "bge0:1" (btw: Solaris 8/9 is the 
environment for this).

I have thought of configuring loopback (127.x.x.x) addresses inside the 
application and redirecting these to the stunnel service ports; this might 
work (not yet tested) but is really ugly ...

Maybe someone has done something similar before ... ?
