redirecting traffic

redirecting traffic

[Chadley Wilson]

Greetings,

As I progress with my firewall skills, I would like to know if there is a way 
to take all traffic aimed at a certian machine for certain services and 
redirect them directly to another server.

We are moving from the uucp dial-up to ISP based dial-up, which means our 
clients will not dial directly into our server any more, They will be 
uploading data to our public gatways ip address, I want the gateway to 
forward or redirect the requests straight to our server.


Could some-one offer a few suggestions and possibly some examples on how to 
achieve this ?

Thanks

How far have you progressed? To the point of reading the NAT HOWTO yet?

"-j DNAT", documented in "man iptables", examples in the NAT HOWTO.

Thanks good answer mate,
I needed to know what to use, and NAT is the one.
I will read up on it!
