Hi I am trying to do the following.
1. Sent traffic through a router,from an etherenet interface to a serial
interface (natting on the serial interface on the way out) NAT the source
address to a virtual ip address that is actually not attached to the router,
& from there the router sends the traffic on its ways to its destination
which is a routable address.
When the return traffic comes back to this router (other router in the
network have static routes pointing back to this router to get to the
virtual address) I want the router to NAT the virtual destination address
(on the way through the router on the outside serial interface back to the
orginal source ) which is on the ethernet side. This is the same serial
interface which natted the source traffic on the way out.
Its not the natting on the way out I am concerned about. It the natting on
the serial interface on the way back in. I am concerned the router will drop
the packet as it doesnt have the destination address in its routing table
until after it nats the destination address.
Can this be done ?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
