NAT Clarification

Default NAT Clarification


NAT question:

We have BM36 using proxy and NAT'ed with the second IP pointing to our
webaccess server. We also have our groupwise mail components on the
NAT'd box. I think not relevant we are also using guiniverre. We also
are running a blackberry messaging server on a seperate (non NAT'd)
server box.

When filters are not activated everything works. However, when
ipflt.nlm is loaded (and default filters loaded) no mail can be sent or
received. No messages are being forwarded from the Blackberry box as
well.

Im thinking the default filters affect only the primary IP. So, for
confirmation: Do the default filters affect the Primary IP only, the
Secondary IP, or it does affect both?

Would I need to apply special filter exceptions to allow the groupwise
server to operate as designed? As general guidlelines, what would they
be?

Thanks in advance.

-Sam

Mostly correct. FILTERS affect all traffic passing to, from or through
the public interface. Default filter EXCEPTIONS apply only to the
public IP address.

You will certainly have to modify the filter exceptions. Novell tid's
have some examples for various apps, including email. My BMgr filtering
book (see URL below) has cookbook recipe examples for all the ones you
are likely to need, except Blackberry, which uses tcp port 3101.
