Hi,

My iptables firewall isn't NATing ip50 packets, so the vpn firewall at work
is reporting my internal ip address once i'm authenticated.
(pre-authentication, i appear as the correct external ip)

I'm not loading any additional modules, and my NAT rules are:

$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s $INT_IP -j SNAT --to $EXT_IP
$IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d $EXT_IP -j DNAT --to $INT_IP

I have a block of ips, so i'm not masquerading, just doing a 1:1 translation
for each of my machines to a different external address.

Is the NATing of ip50 packets actually possible?

if yes, what do i need to do/where do i need to look to find out
if no, how can i keep my vpn client behind the firewall and still use it?

(I'm using mandrake 8.1 with no additional iptables patches; i'm sorry i
can't remember the version of iptables that is supplied with 8.1.)
