Subject: Going around routing tables without NAT
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 09:47:24 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <001c01c6b001$a08ae1b0$e1a0a510$@COM> (raw)

Hi,
	I have a problem I've been unable to come up with a solution for. I
have a pair of "Internet" connections into my firewall. One is a wireless
broadband connection that has a static IP address so I use it to host a
couple of small domains (Web/mail). The second connection is DSL. I'd like
to push traffic from my internal network through the DSL connection and
leave the static connection for hosting purposes (and a backup in case of
issues with the DSL). I don't, however, want to do NAT since the "modem" I
am connected to already does NAT and I don't really want to double-NAT the
packets. My routing table on the firewall is set with a default out the
wireless connection which needs to be there so I'm not routing
asymmetrically on response traffic to, for example, SMTP or HTTP. It seems
to me that a POSTROUTING rule with a ROUTE target should be correct but I'd
need to install the patches for that and it's not clear to me how well it
would work anyway. Any additional thoughts?

Thanks,
Ric
