Hi all,
I have Redhat 6.2 installed along with VMWare 2 with NT4 installed in
the VMWare virtual machine. I'm doing some development work on that
other platform, and I need to be able to access its services from the
net. I wrote an /sbin/ipchains packet filter including forwarding and
masquerading the VMWare net (vmnet1).
Here's the problem: simply forwarding and masquerading to the external
interface means all outbound traffic goes out as my main address.
There is no way (that I know of) to initiate a TCP session from the
outside since masquerading works just like NAT.
I haven't yet discovered in Redhat specific IP aliasing documentation
and I don't have an ip_alias.o kernel module (nor have I found source
code). But, ifconfig eth0:0 <ipaddress> works and creates an alias I
can ping externally, so I presume that IP aliasing is compiled into the
kernel by default.
Since forwarding/masquerading from vmnet1 to eth0 works just as
advertised, why can't I likewise forward/masquerade to eth0:0?
Thanks,
Rob
