I'm sending this again under a new subject, as the first may not called
for attention.
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro,
I'm designing a firewall for client that has the following configuration:
Internet
|
|
Router Internet
|
|
Netfilter Firewall
|
|
Router Intranet
|
|
Client's LAN
My client has a mail server running QMAIL at his LAN, and he wants to
use it as his Internet Mail server, without changing it's place on the
network.
My question is: Can I make a Destination NAT (for packets from the
Internet) to an address that I don't have an interface? Or do I need to
make first a translation at Router Internet and then another at the
Firewall?
I know that I can use something link smtpd on my firewall to forward all
mail to the QMAIL server, but I'm hunting for options.
Best Regards,
