You want to map more than one private IP to one public IP. That's dynamic NAT and is not implemented. This example implementation doesn't implement everything described in the document. The document is no supplement for the implementation, it's vice versa. I think I already sent you an email about this, if so you did receive an answer already.

You could do a 1:1 mapping, i.e. a public IP for each of the private IPs. You have to tell your router that your NAT box is a gateway for these public addresses. Aliasing and NAT have nothing to do with each other. Aliasing won't solve your problem. I don't know any dynamic NAT solutions for Linux except the built-in masquerading, which is a special case and not what you asked for. Your posting doesn't show you didn't understand the document. Question 1: that's what every router does (I guess 'addressed to it' means IP is not this host; different on OSI layer-2 used within the same network to transmit encapsulated IP packets).

M.Hasenstein, who's just started flying and wants to get his private pilot license asap (in case you wonder why I don't do much for NAT right now).
