Hello,
I've a general question to ask about masquerading. I've read all the
FAQs & HOWTOs, and I found all technical documentation about
masquerading & firewalling, and I'm ready now to put it in my Linux box.
But there is still one question:
For now, If I just want to do firewalling, I only have to set it with
ipfwadm -I and -O. In every scripts that I read about masquerading,
there were always such orders:
ipfwadm -I ... # fix-up input
ipfwadm -O... # fix-up output
and then in addition,
ipfwadm -F ... # fix-up forwarding (and thus masquerading with -m )
But, is it necessary to use the two kinds of commands (-I & -O) before
performing masquerading rules (-F -m) ? are not the masquerading rules
consistents by themselves ? why ?
However, if I have a POP3 server located somewhere in my inside network,
will it still work with IP masquerade ? I guess I mustn't masquerade it
in this case. Please confirm.
Thank you for helping,
Eric :)
