Subject: Logic for SNAT persistent handling introduced in 2.6.30 is inverted
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 15:16:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200908241516.16544.maxi@daemonizer.de> (raw)

Kernel 2.6.30 introduced a patch [1] for the persistent option in the 
netfilter SNAT target. This is exactly what we need here so I had a quick look 
at the code and noticed that the patch is wrong. The logic is simply inverted.
The patch below fixes this.
Also note that because of this the default behavior of the SNAT target has 
changed since kernel 2.6.30 as it now ignores the destination IP in choosing 
the source IP for nating (which should only be the case if the persistent 
option is set).
