Hello Aubrey,
You did not misunderstood my explanation! The scenario is: - A user with some/any static IP configuration is been routed to allow him to access the internet. I have seen a solution at sourceforge called SHAT but the author does not maintain since 2004 and the version at sourceforge has a bug. I tryed to email Mr Jordan but maybe he has some moving or other personal problems. The Mikrotik version really does this (universal gateway) and it calls this feature as one-to-one NAT. I understand the this features manipulates with ARP... and my real gateway replies to arp request and provide the my real gateway MAC as been the requested gateway.And then do the other consequent controls using some virtual interfaces (like one creted by "tunctl" tool, for instance... from UML). Any way... I wish to have this "universal gateway" some how!
