to be short :
10.0.3.0/24 ---> Gatewaty --> Internet
w.x.y.z
10.0.3.8 is DNAT'ed to accept http request and some UDP ports
To the gateway w/ public IP
Internet ---> Gateway:80 -- DNAT--> 10.0.3.8:80
But workstations ( on the same LAN ) can not access 10.0.3.8 using the
Gateway's Public IP
THey can only connect by typing 10.0.3.8 ( or hostname only ) in the
browser's URL box
So far, I only use these on the nat tables :
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 0/0 -d $Gateway_Ext_IP --dport 80
-j DNAT --to 10.0.3.8:80
AND
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -o $ ext_iface -j SNAT --to
$Gateway_ext_IP
Should I add something more so other workstations on the same LAN as 10.0.3.8
can access it by using their gateway's Public IP ?
I do not know what this is called tho'
Thank you for reading.
