A way to forward an IP/Port to another system's IP/Port
Can I forward traffic coming to an IP/Port on one system to an IP/Port on another system? Basically just forward it over - I want to move a game server from one system to another system but I want people to be able to connect with the old IP address.
I don't want the traffic routed through the first server at all, I just want it to bounce them to the new server. Thanks in advance! |
Can you just swap the machines IP addresses ? That would be the quick fix....
|
Unfortunately no - the systems are hosted in a datacenter and they do not allow that.
|
If you done a search, you would have found this:

I guess my question should be revised to ... Does using IPTables still put the traffic through the first IP address / system? If so, is there a way to re-route all traffic so that it is not going through the initial IP address at all?
|
couldn't you just use dns?
|
Could I? That would be fantastic... I will start to research it, if anyone knows if this would work and how to do it please let me know. Thanks!
