Hi all.
I'm doing 1 to 1 nat to map an internal IP address to an external, world
accessible IP. I use the following rules:
$iptables -A FORWARD -i eth2 -d $EXTERNAL_IP -j ACCEPT
$iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth2 -d $EXTERNAL_IP -j DNAT --to $INTERNAL_IP
The architecture is as follows (sorry if too wide):
_________ _________________
eth2 | | eth0 eth0 | | eth3
$INTERNAL_IP
(WORLD)<------------| Gateway |------------------| Internal Router
|--------+--(INTERNAL MACHINE)
$EXTERNAL_IP|_________| |_________________| |
\___ More
Internal
\__
Machines ....
The problem is that I am unable to access the internal machine with
$INTERNAL_IP from any of the other internal machines, through $EXTERNAL_IP.
I failed to see a solution for this problem. Any ideas?
