I'm not sure right now if it's my brain that's refusing to wrap itself around this problem, or if my understanding of ow this works is wrong, but long and short if it is I just can't get this to work. Anyway, here's the issue. ASL is up and working beautifully as the firewall I've always wanted, but I have a mail server that actually has a real IP, and I really need to keep the IP if at all possible. However, so far I haven't been able to make this work.
I've tried setting up a static route for it, but that just made my whole network lose connectivity.
Basically, all I want to do is be able to send and receive my mail at the real static IP, but still have it behind the firewall. Is this possible? Am I overthinking this? I'm currently assuming that you can't simply stick it behind the FW with a routable IP and hope it all works. Please help. My brain is fried right now after trying to get this to work all day. Thank you all in advance.
