NIS+ behind NAT Hi,
this is my question: is it possible to use NIS+ if:
- NIS+MasterServer is in one network (named NET_A)
- NIS+ clients are on another network (named NET_B)
- There is a FIREWALL/NAT between NET_A and NET_B
???
NIS+MasterServer has:
- REAL_IP
- NATTED_IP
Clients on NET_B have
- REAL_IP
- NATTED_IP
>From NET_A I send packets to hosts on NET_B using their NATTED_IPs
>From NET_B I send packets to hosts on NET_A using their NATTED_IPs
The commands used to setup NIS+ are:
(on NIS+Master)
nisclient -v -d domain_name -c NIS+Client_NATTED_IP
(on NIS+Client)
nisclient -i -h host_name_NIS+Master -a NATTED_IP_NIS+Master -d
domain_name
With a packet snoop on NIS+Master and on NIS+Client I can see packets
going between two hosts... (because in the first part of communication
they use natted IPs)
....but in the second part of communication I can see that NIS+Client
sends packets to REAL_IP of NIS+Master!!!
The tables on NIS+Master and NIS+Clients are right,
Why Does NIS+Client send packets to NIS+Master REAL_IP???
Where does NIS+Client get NIS+Master REAL_IP ???
Is it possible for NIS+ to work beside FIREWALL/NAT???
Please help me, this issue is critical for me..
Thanks in advance, |
