help with policy based routing


I believe what I need is iproute2, but am not sure. I'm not so hot at networking.

I have my machine (A), a machine that has two NIC's (B) and another machine (C). A & B are on the same network. C is on a different one. B has two NIC's, and can talk to either network.

I basically need to rsh/telnet from my subnet to the other. I can do this now in a 2-step process. Telnet from A to B, then from B to C. I need to do it in one fell swoop though.

I read a quick tutorial on iproute2 but it didn't have any specifics on what I needed to do... or it did, and I just didn't follow. :|

Thanks

you don't need iproute2, you need iptables...

basically you just need to do port-forwarding at machine B... this way you can connect from A to C without having to log into B first...

I am actually about halfway through an iptables intro. Thanks. I will read up on that. I poked around the machine and it seems someone else has installed and is using iptables on machine B. I'll check w/ them to make sure I don't break nuttin.

Thanks.

Actually, I think you don't even need iptables
If networking on node B is correctly set up then all you need to turn IP forwarding on on node B:
Code:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
and add routes from A to C through B and vice versa on the networks A and C. Manpage for route should help you with this.

To be honest, it turns out it was a complete screw up on my part. There's a route already made from A to C... I had the wrong IP address for C. We don't use DHCP, and it was relocated from a satellite office. o_O

I'm planning on donig IPTables at home though, so the link is much appreciated.
