Topic: Port Forwarding Ranges

[KJ]

I am wondering what file I need to manually adjust port forwarding on esmith.  Has anyone every done any port forwarding ranges?

Read up on ipchains at linuxnewbie.org. I believe you can just add the commands to rc.local once you've figured out what you need.

You'll actually want to use a set of the ipmasqadm tools in addition to ipchains.  Ipchains should be used to open the port, ipmasqadm will handle the forwarding.  You can add them to /etc/rc.d/rc.local as Bill states to keep them after reboot.

You'll probably want to play with:
ipmasqadm autofw
ipmasqadm portfw

Check out http://www.tsmservices.com/masq for more details on applications requiring port fowarding and the syntax to use.

Hope this helped,
Nathan

Has anyone done any searching on this board? "port forwarding" might be a good search term.
