index | next in thread | previous in thread | raw e-mail
the box is set up like this:
routable-network --|
routable-network --|
192.168.1.1 --|
|-- internet
what i was trying to do is allow any outbound traffic
out to the internet from the internal routable networks
with a keep-state rule. i've already sorted out natd and
the rules for the 192.168 network.
for the routable (class c) networks, i thought from reading the ipfw
man page that it should be possible to do
ipfw add allow tcp from any to any out via fxp0 setup keep-state
to allow outbound tcp traffic that wasn't already being allowed.
but it didn't work.
i don't want to do just
ipfw add allow tcp from $net1 to any setup keep-state
because "any" in this case also includes my other internal networks
which i want to keep firewalled off from each other. so i end
up doing something like
ipfw add 20000 skipto 20003 tcp from $net1 to $net2
ipfw add 20001 skipto 20004 tcp from $net1 to $net3
ipfw add 20002 allow tcp from $net1 to any setup keep-state
ipfw add 20003 count tcp from $net1 to $net2
ipfw add 20004 count tcp from $net1 to $net3
repeated for each network, which works, but seems kludgey.
