Re: Weird entries in my firewall

First i would suggest you block any packets coming from the external
interface with valid internal IPs
  
  iptables -A INPUT -i eth? -p all -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j LOG
--log-prefix "spoof: "
  iptables -A INPUT -i eth? -p all -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j DROP
  
  if still having the same problems, suggest review your net topology
(maybe blocking broadcast)

Hi list,

I've been getting these weird entries in my firewall (iptables) for a while...

BLOCK 12:29:37.371982 OPT1 192.168.0.50, port 2401 255.255.255.255, port 712 UDP

Now, the source is the internal IP of my server, which is not connected to the firewall.  It's as if the traffic goes 
through the external interface using the internal ip, and always broadcasts to port 712.  Two of my servers are doing 
that.

Has anyone ever seen something like this?  It has me completely stumped.

Thanks!

No trono de um apartamento
Com a boca escancarada
Cheia de dente, esperando a morte chegar

Porque longo das cercas embandeiradas
Que separam quintais
No cume calmo do meu olho que vê
Assenta a sombra sonora
Dum disco voador...
