Tried to say it all in the subject line. . . Should I expect that when I set up a host that has private IP go out via a public IP using a SNAT entry (simply: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.x.y -j SNAT --to-source w.x.y.z) and then use DNAT to allow the public IP back in (iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d w.x.y.z -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.x.y) that I not be able to get web traffic to port 80 through to the machine in question?
That seems to be my unfortunate situation. Defaults are ACCEPT for INPUT, OUTPUT, and FORWARD. I hope this isn't a FAQ or I'm somehow otherwise proving cluelessness here. I've read around the web a bit and at least it doesn't seem the answer is totally obvious. . . Thanks in advance. B.
