shorewall-nat 5 nat Shorewall one-to-one NAT file /etc/shorewall/nat This file is used to define one-to-one Network Address Translation (NAT). If all you want to do is simple port forwarding, do NOT use this file. See http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq1. Also, in most cases, Proxy ARP is a better solution that one-to-one NAT. The columns in the file are as follows. EXTERNAL External IP Address - this should NOT be the primary IP address of the interface named in the next column and must not be a DNS Name. If you put COMMENT in this column, the rest of the line will be attached as a comment to the Netfilter rule(s) generated by the following entries in the file. The comment will appear delimited by "/* ... */" in the output of "shorewall show nat" To stop the comment from being attached to further rules, simply include COMMENT on a line by itself. INTERFACE Interface that has the EXTERNAL address. If ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes in shorewall.conf(5), Shorewall will automatically add the EXTERNAL address to this interface. Also if ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes, you may follow the interface name with ":" and a digit to indicate that you want Shorewall to add the alias with this name (e.g., "eth0:0"). That allows you to see the alias with ifconfig. That is the only thing that this name is good for -- you cannot use it anwhere else in your Shorewall configuration. If you want to override ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes for a particular entry, follow the interface name with ":" and no digit (e.g., "eth0:"). INTERNAL Internal Address (must not be a DNS Name). ALL INTERFACES If Yes or yes, NAT will be effective from all hosts. If No or no (or left empty) then NAT will be effective only through the interface named in the INTERFACE column. LOCAL If Yes or yes, NAT will be effective from the firewall system /etc/shorewall/nat http://shorewall.net/NAT.htm shorewall(8), shorewall-accounting(5), shorewall-actions(5), shorewall-blacklist(5), shorewall-hosts(5), shorewall-interfaces(5), shorewall-maclist(5), shorewall-masq(5), shorewall-netmap(5), shorewall-params(5), shorewall-policy(5), shorewall-providers(5), shorewall-proxyarp(5), shorewall-route_routes(5), shorewall-routestopped(5), shorewall-rules(5), shorewall.conf(5), shorewall-tcclasses(5), shorewall-tcdevices(5), shorewall-tcrules(5), shorewall-tos(5), shorewall-tunnels(5), shorewall-zones(5)
