I have a question or 2 about NAt and linux.
I'm getting tired of using my big box as a firewall
and my desktop.
so, I am in process of setting up a smaller box to
handle the firewalling and NAT.
problem is, IP_MASQ isn't really a good NAt scheme
(as too many important ports are translated into the 61000
range). I would like to set up a NAT that works like
a true proxy (what is requested for inbound on port
21 <internet> is translated to port 21 on the internal
gateway device and vice versa).
is there a way to do this that isn't complicated?
ipchains makes a good firewall, but as a transparent NAT,
it sucks.
