Hello, I have a problem with the following setup, I hope you can help me. I have two internet gateways, one for LAN1 and the second for LAN2. +--------------+ GW1 more eth0| |eth4(SNAT) GW2 ---...routers...-----+ router +----------------- | | +---+------+---+ eth1| eth2| | | LAN1| LAN2| I am using the following setup: ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup LAN2 ip route add default via GW1 ip route add table LAN2 default via GW2 ip route flush cache So the default routing table has default route set to GW1 and the table LAN2 has default gw set to GW2. I am marking packets in iptables. iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s $IP1_IN_LAN2 -d ! 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s $IP2_IN_LAN2 -d ! 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 -j MARK --set-mark 0x1 The last thing in my firewall is: iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth4 -j SNAT --to-source $Public_IP The configuration is quite simple, but now straight to the problem: When I run tethereal I see packets with the correct IP address, but sometimes there are packets which have not been nat-ed. I found out that the packets are always marked with the flags [FIN, ACK] and sometimes it is [TCP Retransmission]. For example: #tethereal -i eth4 |grep "10.109.158" 1427.492655 10.109.158.109 -> 194.213.62.44 TCP 1943 > www [FIN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=65535 Len=0 1428.938362 10.109.158.109 -> 194.213.62.44 TCP [TCP Retransmission] 1943 > www [FIN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=65535 Len=0 1431.855387 10.109.158.109 -> 194.213.62.44 TCP [TCP Retransmission] 1943 > www [FIN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=65535 Len=0 1437.890639 10.109.158.109 -> 194.213.62.44 TCP [TCP Retransmission] 1943 > www [FIN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=65535 Len=0 where 10.109 is my internal network (LAN2). These packets are not SNAT-ed. Is it configuration problem, or a kernel/netfilter problem? I tried google, various kernel options, some iptables rules, but did not find the solution. I can post more information if u ask me to. Thanks for any advice, I am getting desperate. -Phill ---------------------------------------------- Member of PSF|Predictable Suicide Fanatics[CZ] a Day of Defeat clan WWW: http://psf.gotdns.com ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- Member of Wireless community network PilsFree WWW: http://www.pilsfree.net ---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- I do know everything, just not all at once.
