(I am resending this message because my previous mail seems corrupted)
Hi.
I am having a little problem with IP MASQ and IPROUTE2.
I am using RedHat 8.0 with IPTABLES.
I have a linux gateway server with 3 NICs.
I set up the linux server as the below. As the result, it works fine(
192.168.0.x can access the internet by masquerading via eth2
and external internet can access the eth1 and eth2).
But the problem is that the hosts in the local network (192.168.0.x) can not
access the ip addresses of 211.x.x.155(eth2) and 218.x.x.20(eth1), even
though ip forwarding is
turned on. It can only ping and access via 192.168.0.1(IP of eth0)
Could someone please sugguested me the solutions?
Thanks in advance.
My environment ans settings:
Local Network +-------------+ eth1(218.x.x.20) --> ISP1
(192.168.0.x) ---| Linux Server |--------
eth0 | |
192.168.0.1 | |--------
+--------------+ eth2(211.x.x.155) -->ISP2
The eth1 and eth2 are the links to internet. I have 2 providers to Internet
and I would like to use eth2 as the default route to internet from Local
Network(192.168.0.x) and eth1 as for the servers(DNS, mail, web) that people
from external Internet
to access. The reason behind that is that provider ISP2 are not
allowing me to run servers on that link, so I had to setup another link for
servers(eth1).
The IP masqurading is used and ip forwarding is turned on.
