Don't really know the *answer* you're looking for, but some comments. >What I want to >do is redirect all traffic that is received by Box A >to Box B, in a similar manner to that used by the free >dynamic dns services that are on the web, eg. >Dyndns.org, without having to actually redirect >through one of these services. Note that you do not "redirect" through them. Your box merely notifies them of its new IP address, and they do dynamic *DNS*. Once the DNS query is returned to whoever asked for your web page, then the traffic goes directly to you, no redirection anywhere. It's just DNS that updates all the time, that's all it is. >Ideally what I need is >for Box B to send its new IP details through to Box A >whenever it is updated. Box A would then have a >script of some kind that redirects traffic to Box B at >its current IP address. You can forward all the traffic from A to B with iptables (which you need to learn anyway), and you can use the functionality of your DHCP client on B to run a script whenever the address changes. However, then you *will* be redirecting through A, and now you have the slowness of A *plus* whatever time it takes to go to B. Overall using a dynamic DNS service like dyndns.org sounds like a far better solution to do exactly what you want. My guess (famous last words) is that you haven't yet understood that they only change your DNS information dynamically but do not receive and forward all your traffic. If they did, it would suck; since they don't, it works like a charm. -- Rodolfo J.
