Hello all I've got a fairly simple problem. I have server1 which is located in DC1, and I have server2 which is located in DC2. The problem is the routing at DC2 blows. The only good connection is the one from DC2 to DC1.
Both servers have a public IP address. So what I'm trying to achieve here, is letting server1 be a "gateway" to server2. Let's take this information: server1: IP 212.23.24.25 and 212.23.24.26 server2: IP 180.48.47.46 now what I want, is that 212.23.24.26 IS server 180.48.47.46. So if you are connecting to 212.23.24.26, you are actually connecting to 180.48.47.46, as if it were the next hop. Now on #iptables the suggestion was NAT, but NAT does incur processing overhead. Because we are trying to lower the time it takes to reach server2, processing must be kept at a minimum. Now all this has to be IP-based, because both servers only have one interface to the internet. Maybe someone is in a similar scenario? Are there other ways besides NAT to accomplish this? Thanks for your time, Glenn (Note: the IP addresses are examples, I just typed them randomly, they might lead to actual machines but that was not my intention) _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
