[PLUG] NAT Rules


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I saw on the list today mixed in with the thread on putty a request for
a nat rule to get a node to see to the outside.

iptables on  the server that can both see the local net and the world
can be set up like this:

# Allow all machines that have a source ipaddress 192.168.1.0/16 to use
# port 80 on the Internet
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/16 \
	--dport 80   -j SNAT --to $RealIP

I would not set up PREROUTING which would allow Internet access to any
node on the cluster.  I would be very selective on which ports that the
nodes see on the Internet.

With this setup, you could ssh in to a specific node from the local
network and use port 80 to upgrade the system.  I do not think that it
would be a good idea to allow ssh directly from the Internet.  You Could
allow ssh from specific box on the local net that you could ssh in to
from the Internet.
