Machine R is having two network interfaces and acting as a router . It has a dhcp server running . It will assign ip in 192.168.1.0/24 subnet to all machine connected on lan side ( A is connected also in lan side ) . Wan side of R is connected to HTTP server S . There is also a DHCP server running on S to assign ip in 10.232.18.0/24 subnet . Is there any way , in which NAT should be bypassed to get ip from DHCP server running on S . My question is : How can A will get an ip from 10.232.18.0/24 pool ip .? ebtables is an option ? How can we make it ? Is there any other optimal way ? Thanks, Ratheesh
