Re: A weird routing question.

If forwarding is enable, which indeed should be, on this machine
acting/imitating as router, I on Redhat like machines shall create an
alias eth1:0, whereas on Debian and, or Ubuntu I shall use
iproute/iprute2 as follows:

# ip addr add dev eth1 local net.wo.rkX.host/ne.tm.as.kX

I OTOH, am curious to know, how netfilter/iptables can forward packets?
Do we have kind of some FORWARD target for PREROUTING chain?


Sorry, but you just puzzled my mind.

Thanks though.
