If you have multiple private ip's pointing to the same public ip will
traffic originating from each individual ip going out find it's way back to
the original internal ip on its way back in?
the man page states that inbound traffic will be handed to the last private
ip in the list, but it wasn't clear as to whether this was referring only to
traffic that originates on the public internet, or if it's for all traffic
coming in from the public.
here's the snip from the natd man page.
If several address aliases specify the same public address
as
follows
redirect_address 192.168.0.2 public_addr
redirect_address 192.168.0.3 public_addr
redirect_address 192.168.0.4 public_addr
the incoming traffic will be directed to the last
translated
local address (192.168.0.4), but outgoing traffic from the
first two addresses will still be aliased to appear from
the
specified public_addr.
Thanks in advance.
