Is there any >application/solution for box A to use box B to redirect the ports >connection to C Well, you could install SSH on box B and an SSH client on box A and use SSH's secure port forwarding. For example, I redirect my local port 80, 81, 82, and 443 (a Windows SSH client) to the xxx.xx.x.10:80, xxx.xx.x.19:80, xxx.xx.x.20:80, and xxx.xx.x.19:443 machines/ports behind the firewall. Best of all, SSH requires me to authenticate myself, so I'm the only one who can access the internal web servers. You could use the other solutions, but you'd have to make sure that only your IP address gets to have access to box C, and if don't have a static IP on box A, this could be problematic. --Ludwig Pummer <ludwigp@bigfoot.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
