Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any idea about using Bering/Shorewall without 
using Masqurading or NAT. We are at a University so we already have all the 
machines on our network assigned to "real" addresses. I dont really want to 
change all of them to private addresses but I am having problems in 
configuring Bering Shorewall to do this.

Currently we have a gateway 134.36.22.1 and our main switch connects to that 
and its all very straight forward. Our plan was to add the firewall between 
the gateway and the switch i.e.

Gateway         Firewall Ext    Firewall Int    Switch  Hosts
134.36.22.1     134.36.22.2     134.36.22.5     *       134.36.22.???
                      gw=134.36.22.1                            gw=134.36.22.5

We also need to enable access to our webserver for ssh, www and ftp access. I 
was planning on doing this either via a separate zone/hosts or via rule 
exceptions in Shorewall.

I have a pair of machines that I have connected to the firewall so I can try 
things but the only way I have go anything to work was adding static routes 
on the firewall and even then I couldnt get very far as I was still running 
NAT. 

My test setup worked well with NAT using private addresses. Bering was 
straightforward to setup in this case. (Kudos to the authors)
Unfortunately I suspect my knowledge of TCP/IP has sort of run its course at 
this point and I am a bit stuck for what to try next. I was considering 
trying to chuck out the NAT kernel modules and set it up as a bridge but the 
example configuration also used NAT.... 

Cheers,

Jonathan
