Do NOT use NAT for internal WEB - redir and ipfwadm are better
Can NAT Do this? (Bill Harris)
|
First I need to report that I have gone from 4 production NAT systems down to one. In three of the situations NAT did not make sense or work as well as ipfwadm and redir. So the sites where I was using NAT to redirect WEB traffic to an internal NT WEB server are now converted.
The last site is way cool as I am routing a 32 IP block of public IP addresses out over a private WAN and to add a segment of Internet in another city and it works like a dream on a klunker 486. If you plan to simply let a private web server be accessed through a public internet link DO NOT use NAT redir is much better and easier to secure with ipfwadm rules.
