Maybe I can better help myself to understand what's going wrong in my network if someone can answer me some questions:
let's start from a simple setup:
eth0 internal 192.168.1.1/24
eth1 external a.b.c.d/24
eth2 DMZ 10.0.0.1/24
Q1. just having this things defined, can a host like 192.168.1.10 connect with ssh, telnet or whatever to 10.0.0.2 and viceversa??
Q2. If I setup the firewall to MASQ the internal net 192.168.1.0 to external all packets will have the address a.b.c.d whenever they exit from extern. But what if I add a SNAT to one of my already MASQed machines?
Q3. if I put a machine in the DMZ, it will need a SNAT rule to access internet (either to give it the extern or an aliased IP). let's say this is a web server: if I open port 80 to Any will that include the internal lan machines?
Q4. when Oliver says
here to use MAILSERVER in those rules, is him referring to the NATted IP (i.e. a real one) or the actual IP in the DMZ (i.e. 10.0.0.1)?
thanks in advance to whoever will find some spare time to answer this (stupid? ) questions.
greetings
