what i dont understand is why you are listening on port 81 ->
$ext_address and masqing to and internal machine at port 80 ->
$int_address ? are you running this for a special reason ?
ipmasqadm is to forward data to a speciafied internal machine such as
this:
/usr/sbin/ipmasqadm portfw -a -P tcp -L $ext_interface 80 -R 192.168.0.10
80 <--------- or 81 or whatever port you specify, but the standard is 80
( httpd ). for web services of course.
this just tells the firewall to listen on the $ext_interface <--- (say
mediaone ) for httpd requests and forward the connection to the reponder,
at the address : <----- 192.168.0.10 port 80 and masq the internal
address.
hope this helps,
chris
