[f-nsp] Yet Another Nat Question

[Timothy Arnold]

Hi Everyone,

I haven’t quite figured out the benefits of using NAT but I am sure someone can tell me… ☺

On one VLAN of the Serveriron I have all the public IP VIP addresses, on the other VLAN I have an internal 10.x block. I have set-up inside nat for one of my servers and outbound connections will appear from the public IP that I have specified. Great!!

Now, how would I configure a static mapping for the public IP addresses for incoming requests? For example. I have a VIP address that I use for Port 80 and that works fine, however, if I want to be able to admin the server via SSH, I would need to create a static mapping for incoming requests, kind of like the PIX static commands

Is this possible using the Serveriron? Would I need to create a virtual server with the same IP address that I use for the inside static nat?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Tim.
