I have a problem with our firewall/NAT, on a FreeBSD 4.7 box... Here a list with some details:
*) The FreeBSD box uses natd and ipfw, and have two external IP:s, lets say aaa.bbb.ccc.20 and ddd.eee.fff.21.
*) natd is used to redirect access to external IP addresses and ports to internal LAN IP:s, for example 192.168.0.20 and 192.168.0.21, where for example webservers are located.
*) natd rules:
natd_flags="-redirect_address 192.168.0.20 aaa.bbb.ccc.20 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:25-52 25-52 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:25-52 25-52 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.30:80 80 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.30:80 80 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:54-79 54-79 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:54-79 54-79 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:81-722 81-722 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:81-722 81-722 -redirect_port tcp 192.168.0.21:3306-4559 3306-4559 -redirect_port udp 192.168.0.21:3306-4559 3306-4559"
*) ipfw lets things through:
00050 divert 8668 ip from any to any via fxp0 00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0 00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8 00300 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any 65000 allow ip from any to any 65535 allow ip from any to any
Problem:
Most things works just fine, external access are redirected to correct ports, and the webservers work just fine. BUT the problem comes when a box on the LAN tries to reach a site residing on 192.168.0.20 using the _external_ IP aaa.bbb.ccc.20. Then I get error: "Unable to connect to remote host". Connecting from a LAN machine to the same site using the _internal_ IP works fine. Connecting to other external IPs also works fine.
I want to be able to connect from LAN boxes to the external IP:s, for example aaa.bbb.ccc.20. Can anyone lead me on the way...? Very thankful for all comments on this matter.
