Wing, this is definitely not possible in 6.3. You cannot hairpin traffic
(traffic entering and exiting on the same interface) on the PIX previous
to 7.0. I believe I did read something that stated this would be possible
in 7.0, but I'm not positive at the moment.

RE: Can PIX 6.3 achieve this?

Hi Chris;

1) Then packect generated by my inside host will not use DNS lookup
(i.e. telnet 210.1.1.1 25), that's why I cannot use the DNS command from
miken.

2) It seems in your case, traffic initiated from inside host and
redirected to DMZ, that's not the same case as me; in my case, I am
asking if it's possible that traffic generated from inside can be
redirected to another host in inside interface.

Can anybody confirm me whether 2) above is possible?

Thanks,
BBD

Wing,
Did you try the DNS command that miken shared? That would seem to be
much easier.

Alias works for me on telnet, e-mail, and http. We have a unix box
(telnet), e-mail systems and public web applications in our DMZ that
resolve to public addresses. We use alias so our inside workstations can
get to them using DNS.

Alias does not alter the DNS reply. It redirects an inside host going to
a public address (that may have been served by DNS but does not alter
the DNS
reply) to an internal or DMZ address that you specify.

Can you post your config?

I tested that it's not working.

I think this command only alter the DNS reply, but it will not translate
and packet that getting through the PIX.

Do you all agree?

Thanks,

Straight from CCO. You could easily replace these IP addresses with the
IP addresses you are using and as long as your static and NAT or PAT is
correct, it will work.

If you want the machine with the IP address 10.10.10.25 to access this
web server by its domain name, implement the alias command as shown in
this
output:

alias (inside) 10.10.10.10 99.99.99.99 255.255.255.255

!--- This command sets up DNS Doctoring. It is initiated from the
clients in
!--- the "inside" network. It watches for DNS replies that contain
!--- 99.99.99.99. Then it replaces the 99.99.99.99 address with the
10.10.10.10
!--- address in the "DNS reply" sent to the client PC.

So yours would look like this -

alias (inside) 10.0.0.1 210.1.1.1 255.255.255.255

Couldn't be simpler. You just got to read the link I sent you.

Dear Group;

-----internal 10.0.0.1-----[PIX]----external 210.1.1.1--------

I have a internal PC 10.1.1.2 and server 10.1.1.1 and external IP is
210.1.1.1.

I have configured port forwarding for 210.1.1.1 SMTP forward to internal
server 10.1.1.1, it works for any PC in outside

But the internal PC 10.1.1.2 cannot get a success SMTP connection to the
external IP port 25 (i.e. telnet 210.1.1.1 25 from 10.1.1.2).

Just want to confirm whether this is possible in 6.3? how about 7.0?

Thanks,
BBD
