Subject: routing packets based on SOURCE address?
Date: Sun, 18 Apr 1999 15:58:55 -0500
I'm trying to route packets to two different interfaces based on the address
that the packets are coming from.
If they come from my 12.x.x.x address, I want to pass them out on eth1.
If they come from my 44.x.x.x address, I want to pass them through tunl0,
using a different IP address as a gateway.
Is this something I can do with ipchains, or is there some other software
that can do it for me, or am I asking the impossible here?
Please notice that you must edit my reply email address when replying by
private mail (preferred). Thanks!
Thanks - Matt

Some URLs:

http://www.sendmail.org/virtual-hosting.html
news:comp.mail.sendmail
In short: if your mapping is one->one use virtusertable.
Try to use standard ways - it will increase you chances of
getting help.
Of course it can be done exactly the way you want it to
but is requires some small non standard changes in sendmail.cf
(The way I think of can not be done via provided *.mc files).

Thanks Lew for the help. I am a newbie at Linux. I have a server
connected to a DSL and an internal LAN. The hostname servers are
given a PI addresses and I entered them on the network config screen
(in X)
How do I allow the internal 95 machines to run Netscape and use the
server to access the internet? I understand that this is a two part
problem. 1) How to configure (or verify) that the server is set
properly. and 2) how to configure the win95 and netscape.

Date: Mon, 19 Apr 1999 09:49:02 +0200
Hi All,
I have installed the latest Redhat (Starbuck), with kernel 2.2.5-4. I
configured it to run the NFS server during installation. However, the
NFS daemon will not start, it says:
nfssvc: funtion not implemented
I looked at my modules (with lsmod), and there where no nfs, so I tried
insmod nfs. This also gave me an error: unresolved symbol
add_to_lookup_cache.
I feel pretty lost in this. I don't want to use the new kernel nfs
server, since my fileserver must be very stable.
I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Magnus

You mean downgraded, in every way they could think of, including
re-compiling the relevant software without optimizations,
incorrectly setting configuration parameters, limiting memory use, using
a kernel known to have problems with that kind of configuration,
etc. etc. Check out

Fair enough, but since we both work for the same organization, what we
have to talk about is well off topic.
Still, since you make a good point, I will post the scripts that work

Its mainly /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
and /etc/resolv.conf
rc.inet1 does also run ifconfig and route commands at startup if your
ethernetcard is configured right.
You can also modify the file and castrate your current netconnection by
giving the command
ifconfig eth0 down
and then give the command
/etc/rc.d/inet1 start
And then the new and modified network configuration is in.

Good chance the printer name (rp=) is wrong. rm= is the host name, as
defined on the Linux-side, but rp= is an internal name defined by the
printer's LPD "server" code. For example, HP JetDirects use "raw" and
"text". I don't know any way to find out what it should be other than
the printer's reference manual.

Hmm, what guest account do you have to use when security is DOMAIN or
SERVER
and you are using a NT box as password server plus having encrypted
passwords?
I've been trying with the guest account on the nt box but the samba
server still
doesn't appear in the network neigbourhood (everything else just works

I am working on some Auto Docs for Independence Linux. They are nowhere
NEAR done, but they do start to cover what you asked... You can check them
out at http://snow.peakusa.com and comments are welcome. Also, Linux
Network Toolkit by Paul G. Sery is a very good book in setting up what you
are looking for. Good luck.

Yes. It sounds like you want tc from ftp.inr.ac.ru:/ip-routing/iproute2*tgz.
There is, ah, "not a lot" of documentation other than the usage
messages that tc gives and a couple of simple examples. You probably
also want to search the web for CBQ and "Sally Floyd" to get an idea
of how it all hangs together.

Ummm, I might be missing something... My Redhat 5.2, which is the latest
version available from the Redhat web page, is called Apollo. 5.1 was
called Manhattan and 4.2 was Biltmore (all confirmed from the the Redhat
www page 4/19/99). If Starbuck is a pre-release of the new Redhat based
on the 2.2.5 kernel, I would suggest getting hold of Redhat... Or you
could try to recompile the kernel to insure that NFS support is compiled
into the kernel...
