How to invert more than one destination network?

Hi
 
I have MASQUERADE in a box as a gateway using IPTABLES and I am using that
box also for VPN... so for it to work I cant masquerade thaffic that goes to
the other side of the VPN...
 
This works for me:
 
IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -d \! 192.168.20.0/26 -j MASQUERADE
 
but now I have another network at the other side of the VPN
(192.168.40.0/26), so how can I invert two networks in the -d???
 
Thanks,

Is it that simple?

I had the thought that that would make IPTABLES to masquerade everithing...

I mean: first rule will say MASQUERADE everything but 192.168.20.0/26 and
the seccond one will say MASQUERADE everything but 192.168.40.0/26 so every
IP (even those inside those networks) will always find a rule to go
MAQUERADED...

You are correct.   See my previous posting for a suggestion on how to do it.

Depending on how your VPN is set up, are you sure that packets to the other 
end of it are going out through $EXTIF anyway?   I run VPNs using FreeS/WAN, 
and all the VPN traffic goes out through interface ipsec0, which I do not 
masquerade.

Anyway, assuming that you do need to do what you asked, try matching the 
packets you don't want to masquerade, first, then masquerading anything 
that's left:

iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o $EXTIF -d 192.168.20.0/26 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o $EXTIF -d 192.168.40.0/26 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE

Antony.
