Well, they're going to input.


I put in a log statement for INPUT:

$IPT -t raw -A PREROUTING -i $EXTIF -p udp --dport 4569 -j LOG 
--log-prefix "iax packet RAW:   "
$IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXTIF -p udp --dport 4569 -j DNAT --to 
10.10.10.180:4569
$IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $EXTIF -p udp --dport 4569 -j LOG 
--log-prefix "iax packet PRE NAT:   "
$IPT -A INPUT   -p udp  --dport 4569                    -j LOG 
--log-prefix "iax packet INPUT:  "
$IPT -A FORWARD -p udp  --dport 4569 -d 10.10.10.180    -j LOG 
--log-prefix "iax packet FORWARD:  "

and look:

kernel: iax packet RAW:   IN=eth0 OUT= 
MAC=00:48:54:8b:ab:29:00:1a:e2:84:bf:3b:08:00 SRC=76.zzz.xxx.yyy 
DST=64.61.167.178 LEN=53 TOS=0x04 PREC=0x00 TTL=49 ID=19483 PROTO=UDP 
SPT=4569 DPT=4569 LEN=33
kernel: iax packet INPUT:  IN=eth0 OUT= 
MAC=00:48:54:8b:ab:29:00:1a:e2:84:bf:3b:08:00 SRC=76.zzz.xxx.yyy 
DST=64.61.167.178 LEN=53 TOS=0x04 PREC=0x00 TTL=49 ID=19483 PROTO=UDP 
SPT=4569 DPT=4569 LEN=33
kernel: iax packet RAW:   IN=eth0 OUT= 
MAC=00:48:54:8b:ab:29:00:1a:e2:84:bf:3b:08:00 SRC=66.zzz.xxx.yyy 
DST=64.61.167.178 LEN=69 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=55 ID=16258 DF PROTO=UDP 
SPT=4569 DPT=4569 LEN=49
kernel: iax packet FORWARD:  IN=eth0 OUT=eth1 SRC=66.zzz.xxx.yyy 
DST=10.10.10.180 LEN=69 TOS=0x00 PREC=0xA0 TTL=54 ID=16258 DF PROTO=UDP 
SPT=4569 DPT=4569 LEN=49

In other words, it's port forwarding all iax except from 76.

So then I put in:

$IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 76.zzz.xxx.yyy -p udp --dport 4569 -j DNAT 
--to 10.10.10.180:4569

And that made no difference!

Any help really appreciated.
