I am currently running a similar "double Nat'ed" network

        cable modem
                |
                |
        linksys box
                |
                |
        wireless/phoneline/ethernet bridge/firewall
                |
                |
                |
            Hosts

Both the linksys box and the bridge do NAT (probably more correct to say
PAT).  The linksys box is the dhcp server for the bridge and the bridge does
dhcp for the hosts.

Works great...

Subject: NAT question


Hello,

I was wondering if this is possible.


Here is my topology

 
----------------------
                                     nated 
nated      public IP  --                        --
------------------  private ip  ---------------------- private 
IP    -------------------               |         Internet      |
|Hosts        |----------------|inner Firewall   |-----------------|outer 
router  |-------------- |                         |
------------------      |           --------------------- 
-------------------                --                     --
                         | 
-------------------
------------------      |
|web services|-------
------------------


My first question is, is this possible, I have only one public address, and 
I am running a linux firewall (via IPTABLES), and using nat to hide my 
internal network, and then I have another firewall inside my network, and I 
want to run nat on that again, but this time both of the addresses will be 
private.  And then run my web server and ftp server inside that 
network.  So my question is can I run nat on the IP which is already being 
nated by outside firewall.

Thanks for help in advance

Tsingh
