Mouse Trails?
My sight is deteriorating. I can still see and read the screen, but sometimes locating the mouse pointer (LXDE here) is difficult. Is there a port which will give me mouse trails when the rodent is moved?

This is wrong on so many levels, and you'll have to work around all og them. Yes, you can use nat, but what about adress-resolution? And so on. If it's a specific thing you need to work - a spesific server for example - nat can work, but if you need general bridging, best to avoid conflicts. Note that there are alternatives, such as L2-bridging rather than L3. If you explain a bit more of the setup, and what you need to work, it'd be easier to suggest something. Right now, we know bits of the setup, but not really what problem(s) you're trying to solve. The setup is basically as described and the desired outcome is to NAT the other end so the addresses appear different. FWIW it only has to be done one way, which I didn't mention. Address resolution is not a problem - easily fixed at DNS. As I said, the only thing that cannot be changed are the local IP addresses in use, so thanks for heeding my warning. Lesser mortals might have change the ranges anyway. Yes, its obviously best to avoid conflicts but if you're bigger than Fred-in-shed you're going to get them. What I'm asking (VPN NAT) is possible, and a recognised solution to the problem I've described - the big boys do it all the time, apparently. My local Cisco expert was able to talk me through doing it, but only on IOS :-( Basically you put the VPN traffic through a NAT table on both ends, so all the remote addresses get mapped to an alternative local range. You pretty much have to do it both ways (source and destination) or you won't get a reply. I can think of dozens of workaround for specific situations (e.g. it it was to access a limited number of hosts, dual-home the ones you need) but this is specially a general solution. I'm sure this is going to be a PITA to work out on FreeBSD, because I'm not that familiar with the tools. I was hoping someone had done it, but if I have to I may be gone for some time. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

NAT loopback using natd and ipfw
Does anyone know how to get NAT loopback (aka NAT hairpin or NAT reflection) working with natd and ipfw? It seems to work with the in-kernel NAT without the need for configuration, but not if you're using natd. I have a feeling it may be something do do with the ipfw diverted-loopback test in natd but if I experiment and get it wrong it's five hours on the motorway for me. Incidentally, I've set net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass set to 0 but it didn't help. Thanks, Frank. (By NAT loopback I mean the situation when you're using NAT to translate one WAN IP to many local LAN IPs (i.e. the usual). If a LAN machine tries to access the WAN IP, you need NAT to treat it as an incoming connection and port-forward it as appropriate to a LAN IP as if the packet had come from the Internet. This is not weird; it's what most home and small office routers do by default). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

(That's a likely scenario with blth VoIP, teleconferencing and ftp over ssl btw). Swapping headers is also a bit outside the scope of NAT, and over to application level gateway. I've seen probably hundreds of attempts at such solutions, most didn't work at all, and few - if any - worked well. FWIW it works pretty well without NAT if you can avoid address conflicts, and in a small installation its possible. But consider this really trivial example: If you're fine with the way it works without conflicts, why not just move things around? Change statically configured IPs, and narrow the DHCP scopes to avoid conflict? The obvious answer is IPv6, of course. I'm surprised no one has mentioned it yet. You seemed dead set on not renumbering the networks, and moving to IPv6 would not only be just that, but also be harder than just renumbering IPv4-nets, so you answered that question for us already. mpd does handle NAT (Section 4.14 of its manual). It doesn't go in to great detail execept to say it uses ng_nat, which in turn uses libalias (like natd). Looking at the ng_nat 'C' interface, NGM_NAT_REDIRECT_ADDR sounds like what I'm after but it all looks geared to NAPT (which is, I guess, what most people use NAT for). And I've got this nagging feeling that ipfw is going to be involved somewhere, just to make it really tricky. If you do insist on shooting the networkowner(s) in the foot, pf would probably do fine for the NAT. Best of luck on your adventure sir, you'll need it. If not today, then some day ahead.

Same as it would any sessions since only the payload is encrypted. What Frank calls basic nat, most people call static nat(at least people who have read enough Cisco docs) and it works just fine. Also you are confusing headers. IP itself has a header and TCP and UDP each have their own. SIP/TLS works just fine on static nat. IPsec is different as it encrypts the port info but there is almost always something can be done about this at that level. Swapping headers is also a bit outside the scope of NAT No, it's the entire point of NAT. How do you think the Translation occurs? Again you are confusing header levels. In general, NAT doesn't care about whatever info is in the payload, only layer 3 and usually layer 4 and in certain configs layer 5 are pertinent to NAT configs. -- Adam Vande More ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
