Can't I solve this problem?

See above... I always want to call the server using its public IP address.

This is my simple script:


#!/bin/sh

modprobe iptable_nat
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter

iptables -F INPUT
iptables -F OUTPUT
iptables -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t nat -F PREROUTING
iptables -t nat -F OUTPUT

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P POSTROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P PREROUTING ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -o ppp0 -j 
MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth0 -j 
MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth2 -j 
MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 -o ppp0 -j 
MASQUERADE

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d $EXTERNAL_IP -j DNAT --to 
192.168.2.99



So all trafic to the external server IP seems to come from 
192.168.2.254. How I can avoid this?

Thank you very much!
