How can I simulate the linux 2.2.x transparent proxy support in linux 2.4? Using linux 2.2 on my router I can bind() a socket to an address X and then connect() to another host Y. Y would see an incoming connection from X and reply accordingly: if the replies towards X pass through my router they are rerouted towards the local socket and all works smoothly. This is a (IMO) tricky hack to fake requests from host X: it is used for example by nat-enabled IDENT servers that forward the incoming requests towards the right host on the internal network. Normally the IDENT server on these hosts wouldn't answer queries from hosts != X and therefore the router has to fake the connection from X. Linux 2.4 doesn't have this behaviour. Setting ip_nonlocal_bind doesn't help. Maybe it could be done with some SNAT and libiptc & friends,... Maybe there is a simpler way. Does anyone know one?
