I have a gateway box with four interfaces.
Internal, DMZ, and two external.
The box has one visible IP address on each external interface,
and both the Internal and DMZ networks are all NATted (with
some rdr rules).
The problem is trying to make use of both external gateways,
There is a nice primer on policy based routing at:
http://www.bsdnews.org/01/policy_routing.php
but it doesn't cover combining with NAT.
What I need to be able to do:
- Various incoming ports need to redirect through to hosts
on the DMZ and internal networks. eg:
mailhost="192.168.4.2";
# Incoming SMTP
rdr ex0 0/0 port 25 -> $mailhost port 25 tcp
rdr vr0 0/0 port 25 -> $mailhost port 25 tcp
This is all working without problems for a single gateway
in use
- Some traffic split across the two external interfaces.
Outgoing port 80 switched to the 'non default' gateway
would be fine.
The two obvious options were:
pass out quick on ex0 to vr0:10.6.0.1 from any to any port = 80
This will send the port 80 traffic out vr0 instead of
ex0, but with the ex0 source address, so return traffic
comes back down ex0 and is rejected by the ipfilter
rules (as well as consuming the ex0 bandwidth)
pass in quick on tlp0 to vr0:10.6.0.1 from any to any port = 80
This send everything out vr0, but bypasses NAT so all
packets have the internal source IPs (and replies fail)
