Linux firewall help...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, first off let me apologize for asking quite basic questions, but I have run out of on-line options to study. I'm currently tasked with configuring a Linux firewall (two network cards, one with a "live" IP address, and one with an RFC 1918 address). The firewall will be configured to listen to two additional IP addresses and re-direct specific incoming ports to two servers hidden on the internal network. I have the multiple IP addresses setup on the firewall, and I have setup my home Linux firewall to do Masquerading so I think that is going to go well, but what I need help with is the redirection part. (FYI, I am using an old Pentium with Mandrake 7.1 installed, 2.2.16 kernel.) From reading the IPChains HOWTO file, it appears that the "-j REDIRECT" chain only redirects to a port on the FIREWALL, not to another system. If someone could show me how to redirect a connection to "real IP Address A, Port X" to the "hidden 10.0.0.1, Port X" I would be really happy! (If it helps, the ports are HTTP, HTTPS, PCAnywhere, and FTP, but all I really need is a boiler plate for the inbound redirection.) As a side note, will the reply packet sent back out to the Internet come from the firewall, or is it possible to setup a "Static NAT" between the aliased IP address and the internal IP address of the server? If this is too complicated, can someone show me an example that takes and re-directs EVERYTHING through from address X to address Y (a simple, two-way static NAT)?
