[NTLUG:Discuss] static NAT?

[Jack Snodgrass]

Not 100% sure what your asking....  I think that your trying to do:

Firewall - Internal and External address.

web server - internal address.

now, you want a request to come to your external address and be forwarded
to your internal web server. So, you want to use ipforwarding ( part of
iptables )
or you can use something like xinetd and it has a internal redirect option.

Is that what you were looking for ?
