Tim --

I have been trying to set up static NAT on my Linux FW-1.  Do you know what route
commands I should add.  I added an ARP entry then added:

/sbin/route add $valid_ip gw $invalid_ip

... and everything works great except now my static NAT machine can't communicate
with anyone on the subnet directly connected to the untrusted interface of the
FW-1.  That subnet can't communicate with the NAT host either.  It's bizarre because
the static NAT host can ping www.yahoo.com, but I can access any service from my
house to the static NAT host perfectly.

Am I routing incorrectly?  Any ideas?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
John
