Using ipfw and/or NAT, has anyone ever succeeded in getting stunnel to bind transparently to a local address? I have been experimenting with the alias function for the NIC, and used ipfw and NAT to divert in all directions I could wiz. But stunnel always regards the address as belonging to localhost, and fails to bind transparently. :( What I want, is to allow a secure connection to read news over. But not so that stunnel's failure to bind transparently breaks the access.db (as, from the news server's point of view, all seems to come from localhost). I know the Linux kernel allows transparent binding (locally). But I thought maybe on FreeBSD I could "fake" a remote to bind to, which is really a local address (on the same machine). I am beginning to think this is not really possible; but one can always hope. :) - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
