shorewall masq or snat


Hello,
> My server is on Mandrake 10.1 off.
> eth0 is WAN with static IP connected 512 DSL
> eth1 is LAN.

I am little confused about NAT.

I have a static IP from ISP

I want to do a NAT on eth0.

What should I use in shorewall masquerading or static nat ?
Or do I have to do a combination of both ?

Thanks

Varun

I could be wrong, but I think the shorewall documentation says something like "If you don't know what snat is, then you don't need it". I think masquerading is your normal nat activity.

(Just checking, you are using this linux box as a firewall/router for other machines, aren't you? If it's just the one machine you should ignore masquerading.)
