Re: nat

[Daniel Chemko <dchemko@smgtec.com>]

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i <your inet iface> --destination 1.1.1.1 
-p tcp --dport 3306 -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.1
   If you have sane filtering rules (same as IOS access-list), you will 
also have to open up the FORWARD chain for inbound traffic:
iptables -A FORWARD -i <your inet iface> --destination 192.168.1.1 -p 
tcp --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT

reading the iptables man pages fills in most of the important stuff, and 
if that isn't enough, you could always read the documentation on 
netfilter.org for more info than you'll need.
