It sounds like you want couple of machines to be masked behind another one. Here's the proper config (below). Default gateway for #4 & #5 is #1 (second interface). dgw for #1-3 is the router's inside interface.
In order to route traffic, you must have separate LAN segments. Router | Hub | +----+---+ | | | #1 #2 #3 | Hub | +---+ | | #4 #5 Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Luciano Eicke Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2002 3:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: routing how to Hi, I've been trying to "play" with route and ipchains for a while with no success. I hope somebody can help me. The scenario: I have an internet link with valid IP addresses. My router IP address is 200.199.99.193 I have a Linux-RedHat 7.2 server (#1) at 200.199.99.195 (ETH0), default gateway pointing to the router (200.199.99.193). I have a second Linux server (#2) at 200.199.99.220 (ETH0) I have a third Linux server (#3) at 200.199.99.221 (ETH0) I have two NT servers (#4 and #5) at 200.199.99.194 and 200.199.99.196 respectively, default gateway pointing to the router (200.199.99.193). Servers #1, #4, #5 and the router are connected to the same hub. Servers #2 and #3 are connected to another hub, which in turn is "uplinked" to the first hub. I want #1 to control how much bandwidth is allocated to servers #2 and #3 (I intend to use HTB), so i need to enable servers #2 and #3 to get to the router (and from there to the internet and vice-versa) through server #1. I mean, all incoming and outgoing traffic related to servers #2 should flow like: server #2 => server #1 => router => internet internet => router => server #1 => server #2 The same to server #3. Servers #4 and #5 must not depend on server #1, so these servers'direct connection to the router must remain. What I tried: I installed a second ethernet adapter at server #1 (ETH1), assigned a local IP address to it (10.1.1.8), connected a UTP to the hub and to the ETH1 interface and set IPChains Input rules as: >From 200.199.99.220, iface ETH1 (i did the same to server #3) To 0.0.0.0 Redirect to host 200.199.99.193 What I wanted to happen is all incoming traffic from server #2 (200.199.99.220) arriving at the ETH1 interface to be forwarded to the router (200.199.99.193). Since I have a default gateway to 200.199.99.193, I assumed the static route table would take care of it. Is this approach correct or I'm going the wrong way ? Does the standard installation of IPChains (the one that ships with Red Hat 7.2) allows "forwarding" ? I went through the how-to's at linuxdoc and other sources but I was unable to put the pieces together. Any help would be most appreciated.
