suppose that i have a network using private IP address space, NAT'ed
behind a firewall (linux+ipfwadm) which possesses my only valid IP
address.
i want to run a web server on one and only one of my machines, but it's
not the firewall machine. is there a way of having connections to port 80
on my firewall be automatically transported to port 80 on a nominated
internal machine? (replies from my internal machine would get correctly
routed back to the real world by my existing masquerading arrangements.)
if the method is ipfwadm-specific, is there also a way of doing it with
ipchains?
finally, at the risk of starting a language war, what is the correct term
for this kind of transport? proxy seems wrong, so i chose plug gateway,
but i have a vague feeling that may not be precisely correct either.
thanks for any light anyone can shed.
