I'd like a hand figuring out how to access resources on the internal side of a NAT net from within it without doing something kludgey with DNS. i.e. suppose I run natd with a configuration like this: # begin /etc/natd.conf use_sockets same_ports port 8668 deny_incoming no log redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.128:80 206.169.18.10:80 # end /etc/natd.conf Now if the DNS for the web server www.foo.com running on 10.0.0.128 directs a browser on the 10.0.0.0 net to 206.169.18.10, it doesn't get routed back to 10.0.0.128; it just hangs (I'm acutally not sure what's happening there, the connction never succeeds). Is there a nice way to handle this case without running a dummy DNS just for the 10.0.0.0 internal net? thanks, -Ian -- Ian Kallen <spidaman@arachna.com> | AIM: iankallen | efax: (415) 354-3326 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
