jails and one dynamic ip address
I get one dynamic ip address from my ISP. This is what I specify on the jail for public network access. When the ip address changes on me I have to manually change the ip address associated with the jail. Is there some method I can code so jail will all ways have public network access? ___ 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
Re: jails and one dynamic ip address
Hi, Sure there can be a better solution (I think :)): Use an rfc1918 private address range for your Jail, and use nat, to forward your external interface IP to the private address of the jail. This can be done in ipnat, PF, or the other natting, packet filtering tools. Hope I understood your question :). Regards, Balázs M.

The jails are on the host with LAN behind it and with ipf firewall which allows out anything coming from LAN private ip address. I was not able to get this to work until I discovered the jail needed a copy of the hosts /etc/resolv.conf. Now it works without any special tweaks, and the dymanic ip address changing causes no problems. ___ 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
