Web Server on private IP

lambmt · 09-26-2003, 01:05 PM

I have my NAT set up and a web server inside the nat and i want to set it up so the nat forwards the web packets (port 80) to an address inside my internal network any help on that? .... RH9...

If everything else is good the a line like this will do it

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d my_external_ip_address -dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination my_web_server_internal_ip

or swap

-d my_external_ip_address

for

-i eth0

or whatever card is the external one

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d my_external_ip_address -dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination my_web_server_internal_ip

i did this and got:

iptables v1.2.7a: multiple -d flags not allowed
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

got it the correct syntax is:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.8

if that helps ne one other than me !
