Thanks very much. I never thought of that :) However the idea comes from a tutorial listed at ww.netfilter.org. There, the author explains the same issue and gives a solution... But that solution is not working for me. I have posted that part of the tutorial here: http://www.concorde.utcluj.ro/iptables2.pdf since netfilter.org is down. The section explaining my issue is located on the second page - the left column. Take a look there if you have time, and maybe some of u will understand better than me :) The problem with the routing still remains unsolved for me :( -----Original Message----- From: lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl [mailto:lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl] On Behalf Of Ethy H.

It is a commom mistake to admit that the internal network is part of the internet. IT IS NOT. This may be easly solved creating "zones" at you DNS server. Your web server must be identified as part of your internal net. If it is not identified like this you will have to make lots of malabarithm to overcome this.

My points: 1. When you call directly by IP, DNS does not come to play. Why should the DNS matter then? 2. The port redirection happens on incoming packets on eth1 and not eth0 (LAN I/F). Thus LAN traffic should not be affected. 3. In any case, port 80 requests are not redirected to 194.x.x.x IP. My solution, in case the redirection affects LAN traffic would be to give a not condition for the local subnet as source. iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -s !192.168.0.1/24 -d 194.105.29.2 -p TCP --dport 80 \ -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.2 This makes sure that local traffic is not redirected.
