Ok ,
I wish to connect to NATed application without altering the clients:
the only tool i can use is ssh (this is the only server side application
that i can use);
I can't use tun on the server (AFIAK).
for example let say that i have a dns server on a private net (
10.10.0.1) and i have the www ip (firewall) 1.2.3.4
and i wish to use this dns i understand that it should be done using tun.
next i could create a new route using tun (or anything like it) to
1.2.3.4 :
tun0 will has an aceptable ip or any other way it can work inside the
other private net.
so if tun0 is the tunnel :
# route add -host 10.10.0.1 dev tun0
so i would add nameserver 10.10.0.1
and could search in the dns.
next i wish to use build server (that has ssh ) 10.10.0.2
so simple route :
# route add -host 10.10.0.2 dev tun0
etc ...
by this i can work without any extra settings on the servers.
