Subject: [LARTC] Source IP translation
Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2004 03:58:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <415249E4.9070109@espgroup.net> (raw)

Hey everyone,

	OK, not sure if this is more appropriate on the netfilter mailing list, 
but here it goes.

This is a weird setup that is out of my company's control. We have a 
webserver setup which will be contacted by several clients with 
different ip. All of these client ip must be translated to the same ip. 
The problem is this all has to happen on the same box. So before the 
packet reaches the apache webserver daemon, can the kernel running on 
the webserver translate the source address?

I have tried iproute2 and iptables with no luck. Looked at netfilter 
patch-o-matic-ng and did not see anything that would help me. Is this 
even possible?

I would need something like this
iptables -A PREROUTING -i ethX -s $CLIENTIP -d $WEBSERVER -j SNAT --to 
$NEWCLIENTIP

but the SNAT is not supported in PREROUTING.

Any ideas? I not familiar with iproute2 so if there is a solution could 
you post the commands.

Thank you in advance,

Ryan
