Re: expose internal network to the outside world
Hi Matt,
It seems that option 2 may work for you. Installing a Debain box with
iptables seems a little bit of overkill to me ;-)
But that's my thought...
you should NAT mydomain.dyndns.org port 2000 to 192.168.2.199 port 22
and mydomain.dyndns.org port 3000 to 192.168.2.254 port 22
Maybe you can add an ipaddress int the table with the trigger ports?
your public ports should be 2000and 3000 your trigger ports should be 22
for both private ipaddresses I think...
Good luck.
