Hi Julian,

I appreciate your willing to help me.

My Situation in short is:

----------- [a]     ------------------------- [b] -------------
internet B |---BGP---|84.xx.yy.1  192.168.0.1|-----|192.168.0.2/24
193.xx.yy.2|         |Aem1   Cem3      D  em0|  |  | neighbour
-----------         -------------------------   | --------------
    |                         |                 |
   [Q]                        |                 |
                        your networks        private network

I Have control only over the middle machine, so i cant establish a tunnel.
So I want it to act as MAN IN THE MIDDLE/ proxy.
every packet comes from private network to 192.168.0.1 ie:
packet hdr: src: 192.168.0.2 dst 192.168.0.1
should be translated as:
packet hdr: src: 84.xx.yy.1 dst 193.xx.yy.2
ports and data untouched.

and every packet from 193.xx.yy.2 (incoming/setup...) as:
packet hdr: src: 193.xx.yy.2 dst: 84.xx.yy.1
to be translated as:
packet hdr: src: 192.168.0.1 dst 192.168.0.2

btw: any other packet from src other than 193.xx.yy.2  to dst 84.xx.yy.1
should be dropped.


Again thanks for you help, I hope I supplied all the info needed to help me.
Sami
