OT - NFS through firewalls
I've got a setup like this:
+------+ +--------+
|NFS | 10.0.0.20 |Firewall| 192.168.1.1 +--------+
|Server|------------------| |----+-------------|Client 1|
+------+ 10.0.0.38 +--------+ |192.168.1.7 +--------+
|
| +--------+
+-------------|Client 2|
|192.168.1.8 +--------+
|
| +--------+
+-------------|Client 3|
192.168.1.9 +--------+
The firewall box is using NAT to connect all the internal machines to
external machines through the firewall's 10.0.0.18 interface:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.0/24 -j SNAT \
--to-source 10.0.0.38
And all the clients have the firewall's internal interface as their
gateway:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG
What happens if each of my client machines NFS mounts the same drive
from the server? Are there problems with doing this? I suppose I could
NFS mount the directory on the firewall machine, and then NFS mount this
NFS-mounted directory on each of the clients, but I don't know if that's
a good idea either.
Any advice?
Thanks!
Chris
