You were bang on target although I did not understand how to go about creating the route in the first place (or even if one was needed - afterall shorewall was configured for nat and masq). So I tried to put various things together again. Well! Well! I have finally got it! The first thing I noticed by doing tail -f /var/log/messages was that connection requests from the local network (source 192.168.100,3, dest 192.168.1.2 were being systematically dropped by shorewall). Poking around in the shorewall documentation finally brought up a method for enabling a routeback between two local subnets. Thus /etc/shorewall/interfaces now reads: #ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS loc eth0 192.168.1.255,192.168.100.25 routeback
This above created the necessary "route" and bingo! So thanks once again. Now another query: How safe (both in the sense of transmission loss etc. and in the sense of security) to have IP aliasing? > From: Sudev Barar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Or you need to add postrouting+masquerading NAT lines in to your firewall? > --=20 > Sudev Barar > Learning Linux > Thanks for your response. Shorewall does masq and NAT if you configure it to do so (which I did).
