Hi all,
This is a message to those ipchains/iproute gurus to help me with a rather
peculiar setup
of a network:
Because we have very few "real" network addresses and a large chain of routers
until our
site, I setup a multihomed Linux router in that way:
eth0 - all the Internet addresses that I have.
eth1 - a private C class for masquerading office windoze machines
eth2 - an other private C class for comunicating with the last router in chain, here
is the
default gway also a private address.
The machines with Internet addrs from eth0 all works well and snappy, but...
the gateway router/box can't get to the Internet.
the masq net is not working.
Now, ofcorse that was not too hard to see that all this is because the linux
router has a
private default gw, and I can solve the masq net problem putting a card in a machine
from
Internet LAN and masq on that address, but I seem to remember that was a trick to
mangle
packet headers from a local interface to seem to be originate from an other interface
in the
same machine that has a routable address.
I presume that will take care about the masq also, not only will permit to the
router box
to see the Internet, but unfortunately I wasn't able to build the neccesary commands
with
ipchains/iproute ( I swere to God that I'll learn that combination in time to see it
changing in 2.4.x kernels :).
So if anybody see that before and can help me with a 2/3/n ;) liner, I'll be a
happy guy
again :).
Mircea C.
