Re: NAT Helpers?

[Frans Luteijn <f.a.g.luteijn@knoware.nl>]

Some time ago, I had a similar question. Someone came with a little
program
called udp-proxy.
(See
http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2004-December/057580.html)

Search in Google for udpproxy and udprelay.

For dhcp-relay use the program dhcrelay, compiled from the dhcp-source
and
included in most distributions.
