Subject: How to mangle source packet source ports to a fixed range
Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 09:15:56 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200702090915.56546.netfilter@arntzen.us> (raw)

I have a need to set the source packet's high (unprivileged) source ports to a 
fixed range of high  ports on a firewall providing NAT.

The goal is to be able to identify the inside machines at the destination 
after NAT has changed the addresses.  This is for identification only.  I do 
not need to connect back to the machines inside the firewall.  I realize this 
may break certain protocols which may use dedicated unprivileged ports.

i.e.:

PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.0.x  --sport 1024:65535 -j 
REDIRECT --to-ports 2000-2200

The above modifies the destination port based on the source port.  I wish to 
modify the source port (  --from-ports ? ).

By already knowing the range of high ports used per internal IP address, I can 
tell which machine inside is sending the data.

If someone knows another way of doing this, I would appreciate any 
suggestions.

Thanks,

Steve.
