Good day My first steps to building a NAT/NAPT I am trying to understand how the plan9 ip-stack works.
This is what I am trying to do: I have three ethernet cards in my machine: Card1: Local address for plan 9 services Card 2: local gateway for the boxes that dont use plan9 Card 3: Connection to the internet Each ethernet interface will have a separate ip-stack Doing like this I hope to separate plan9 services from the gateway, to make my environment fairly secure. Plan9 will not use the gateway interface, I will just import the internet interface when I want to access the outside world from the plan9 machines. If I open the data file in the gateway stack /net.gw/ipifc/0/data from my initial NAT program, it seems that I don't get any packets on that interface when I try to access some outside ip-address from the non-plan9 machines. I tried to set up a packet interface on /net.gw/ipifc/1 , and added iproutinng to this stack, and when I try to ping this new interface, from a non-plan9 machine with the gateway set /net.gw/ipifc/0 I get ping reply, but the /net.gw/1/data is also silent. I might have totally misunderstood something here? Any suggestions btw: When I send mail to this list i get the signature <my name> at bredband.net, and gets a lot of spam, is there a way to hide this information? Thanks /Tony, Sweden
