I am running a NAT using natd and the standard OPEN firewall setting.

The NAT has 2 ethernet cards, one to a PUBLIC ETHERNET and the other to
our LOCAL ETHERNET (192.168.etc...)

The natd has been setup with the "-redirect_port" option so that a certain
port on the NAT PUBLIC INTERFACE gets redirected to a server on our LOCAL
ETHERNET therefore giving our server a PUBLIC ADDRESS/PORT.

The problem occurs when a P.C. on the LOCAL ETHERNET tries to access the
SERVER on the LOCAL ETHERNET by way of its PUBLIC ADDRESS/PORT. The NAT
seems to deny packets.

It is absolutely necessary that I can get natd to do this. Accessing the
SERVER via it's local address in an unacceptable solution.

Can ANYONE help ???
