Routing between host and vmware host-only network
 

Hi

I'm trying to get a more complex network to work on my new hosted root server.

The setup:

• Host machine directly connected to the internet
• Host runs opensuse 10.3 and vmware server 1.0.3
• Two virtual machines (server1 and server2)
• Virtual machines are set up as a host-only network
• Bridged networking isn't possible. My assigned ip subnet is routed directly to the host's ip
• I've configured server1 and server2 IP's on the host
• Host and vServers are connected (pingable)

I've tried to find a how to for setting up routing but couldn't find any suitable solution.

How can i get both virtual machines connected to the internet as if they were normal server's.

ExtServer1ip -> IntServerver1ip
ExtServer2ip -> IntServerver2ip

should be a case of just using NAT on the host...

[root@host-server]# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -d extserver1ip -j DNAT --to-destination intserver1ip

etc...

you may also want an SNAT equivalent for data being initiated by the server rather than just incoming connections.

Thanks for the hint. It got me a lot further. I have a follow up question and i posted it as a new thread.
