Hello,
 
I'm new to linux but have a lot of general UNIX network programming experience.
 
I am trying to set up an inbount network address translation and I'm not sure what tools/facilities I should use.
Here's what I'm trying to do:
 
I have an application running on a host behind my firewall that listens for connections at address 1.2.3.4:9999
where 1.2.3.4 is it's IP address on my internal network and 9999 is the TCP port number it listens at.
 
I also have my firewall at 5.6.7.8 connected to the internet.
 
What I would like to do is have hosts on the internet connect to 5.6.7.8:3333 and have the connection be forwarded (or should I say rearwarded ???) to my internal host at 1.2.3.4:9999.
 
My question is what tools facilities can I use to do this?
 
Any direct information or references to howtos for this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanx
Jeff
