Heyaz. Curious for any leads, pointers, suggestions,
patient explanations here.
Here's the situation: given a Linux based NAT'ing
firewall/router in between a modem and a 802.11 access point,
I'd like to support an 802.11 network device that arrives on
the network which is preconfigured "incorrectly". That is,
suppose my LAN is 192.168.x.y, but a new device is configured
with a static IP# (and static DNS, and even a static proxy) in
some *other* range (say, in 206.184.139.137/24 somewhere).
Presuming the firewall ruleset is flexible enough,
how much of this would common IP-masquerading be able to
handle already? Certainly the DNS and and proxy stuff would
require some careful forwarding...but what about the NAT'ing
and the routing? I've been noodling on this most of the day,
and have fairly well convinced myself that it should be
fairly straightforward with the NAT'ing, but a bit trickier
with the ad-hoc ip-aliasing of the internal interface (so
it would appear as the default gateway, DNS, and proxy for
multiple devices differently).
Anyhow...thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
cheers,
Scott
