[Techtalk] iptables NAT forwarding...

[Davis, Jennifer]

This topic seems very interesting.  I never knew we could forward requests
into a computer on the inside of the network.  I was wondering how this
would be done on an IPchains setup.  I don't know what ports I am allowed
out on from the office, but how could I possibly to set my server to forward
input requests to a machine on the inside.  I will find the IPChains and
IPtables to find out, but as I am new to this, it may take a few reads.  Any
other help would be appreciateed
