Help:iptables redirection

swmok · 11-24-2004, 03:38 AM

Hello:

Here is the setting of my NAT server in my company.

The following command is to redirect
all client with ip:10.100.129.[anything] to the web server of the NAT.

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp -s 10.100.129.0/24 --
dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 80

Is there any command to redirect
all client with ip:10.100.129[anything] to a web site e.g. www.abc.com/pig?

Thanks a lot.

use DNAT, I don't think you'll be able to direct the traffic to that particular directory, that's more of a web server configuration.

Redirecting with iptables just works on ip numbers..

You won't be able to use iptables to redirect to a web page by name, just by ip number.. That's the job of a proxy server redirect. It works with url names..

As Demonbane mentioned, you could setup the webserver of the NAT box to redirect using the mod_proxy or mod_rewrite modules if you have apache..
