This is what I am using on a Solaris based network I administer. /usr/sbin/arp -s new.ext.ernal.address eth.car.dhe.xad.dre.ss pub This allows the internal mail server to have a virtual external address. The firewall must route packets to it via the external address and arp them out to external. I am also using natd. Problem is, off the top of my head, I can't remember if the hex address is for the firewall's card or the mail server's card. -----Original Message----- From: Adam LaBarge [mailto:phinger@best.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2001 1:15 AM To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: port forwarding with natd Hi, I am trying to forward port 25 from a FreeBSD router, running natd with an open firewall to an internal machine running FreeBSD set up as a sendmail server. So, I have tried two ways to forward this port, but can not get it to work. Way 1) in /etc/natd.conf I added the line permanent_link tcp internalmachineaddress:25 0:0 25 way 2) was from the command line, and that just hung, this is what I could figure best. natd -redirect_port internalmachne:25 myIP:25 25 That would hang, not even a sintax error. I know that natd runs great, i have been using this router for about 8 month now, works great. The only open connection port to the router is 22. all other tcp is passed to the machines inside. I know that sendmail is working ok on the internal sendmail server, i telnet to port 25 and it give me the sendmail info. I just used the defualt sendmail set up. I also know that the domain information is set up coorectly. So, i figure it is just the forwarding of the port that is messing things up. If anyones has done this, or knows any way to get it working. please help, it is driving me mad. thanks -adam Software is just frozen thought. Nothing more, nothing less.
