Subject: newbie: forward rule to itself
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:02:36 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CC8774C.1070908@gmail.com> (raw)

	Let's say I have server1 with two ports, eth0 and eth0, and server2 
whose eth0 port is connected to server1's eth1. And let's say the subnet 
between them is 192.168.1.0/24 while the one server1's eth0 is connected 
to is 192.168.4.0/24.

I have the following rules to forward port 6969 coming on eth0 on 
server1 to port 6969 on server2's eth0:

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp --dport 6969 -j DNAT --to 
192.168.1.server2:6969
iptables -A INPUT -d 192.168.4.server1 -p tcp -m tcp -m state --state 
NEW --dport 6969 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Any machine in 192.168.4.0/24 seems to be able to get to server2 by 
using 192.168.1.server1:6969. But, if I try to connect to 
192.168.1.server1:6969 on server1 itself, I will not be forwarded to 
server2. What am I missing here?
