Hello everybody,
Suppose I have two addresses routed to my box over a
PPP interface. I have created on Host_2 a loopback interface
and assigned to it Inet_addr_2. Host_1 routes to Host_2
Inet_Addr_2 and everything works if something is coming
from internet to Inet_Addr_2. Host_2 has as default router
rfc1918_Addr_1 and of course it uses its fxp0 address
for outgoing packets. Can I somehow use lo1 address
for connections initiated from Host_2? Or is there any
other way of doing such a thing? Or nat is the thing
to do?
Router
|
| internet

ng0 Inet_Addr_1
Host_1
fxp0 rfc1918_Addr_1
|
| rfc1918 network
|
fxp0 rfc1918_Addr_2
Host_2
lo1 Inet_Addr_2
Another possible sollution would be a tunnel, but
I am looking for something more simple.
Thanks in advance for your ideas, Nikos
