Hi guys, first at all, sorry if this is kind 'of-topic' but I thing that maybe some of you have already passed the following situation, and would like to know your feedback.
I made a connection to a SMSC center of an operator for that require a VPN IPSEC. the flow is something like this: 172.16.16.1 --> 174.126.103.210 --> INTERNET <--- 200.46.161.143 <--- 10.1.24.4 my side is 172.16.16.1, the operator SMSC 10.1.24.4 the IP's where assigned by them and the tunnel end points have mask 32 so I can not extend it to something like 172.16.16.0/24. Anyway I successfully configured the VPN, from my side a "poor man's FreeBSD/racoon server" versus a huge CISCO PIX appliance, so far, so good. VPN up and running and I can telnet 10.1.24.4 etc. Now, on the the same server I have an subnet with the range of 192.168.3.0/24 , and on a jail 'kind of VPS within FreeBSD' I have an instance of kannel, but the routing/NAT issue is driving me crazy, I can found a way to route traffic from 192.168.3.0/24 so it can reach 10.1.24.4 (the smsc center) using NAT: I posted here more detailed information: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=26245 One way I have found to solve this, is to use software like 'jumpgate' or 'balance' that act like a TCP proxy, but I would like to know if this this can really work with NAT. Sorry again if this is "of-topic", any ideas/comments/tips would be appreciated, blames > /dev/null regards.
