Advanced IPFW2 Forward rule problem / bug / misunderstanding
Hello,
I have searched the lists for information pertaining to this problem,
but I haven't been able to find anything relevant to my attempted usage
of IPFWs "forward" action. If there are any preexisting threads that
address my concern, please direct me to them.
I have also sent this message to the freebsd-ipfw list, as this seems
consistent with some other threads I see in their archive.
Here's the situation :
I have two ISPs, each providing two IPs. One of these ISPs is providing
IPs on totally different subnets, and is MAC sensitive. I have two
internal servers (Actually, just one listening on two addresses), and I
want this server to be available externally to both ISPs. (We're
migrating ISPs, and we don't want any interruption in service). I am
using port forwarding in NATd to allow the necessary ports through to
the server. My problem comes with the replies - FreeBSD has only one
default gateway, and all traffic going out, regardless of which external
IP address it is from, goes to that gateway. Since ISP2 doesen't care
much for routing traffic from ISP1, and vice-versa, I have a problem.
I should note here that I am not trying to load balance - I am perfectly
happy with all outbound LAN connections being NATted over one link, I
just need the ability to service inbound connections on all four IPs.
I am using forward rules in my firewall to match packets belonging to
these other interfaces, to forward them to the appropriate gateway.
According to the manpage for ipfw, "If /ipaddr/ is not a local address,
then the port number (if specified) is ignored, and the packet will be
forwarded to the remote address, using the route as found in the local
routing table for that IP." I interpret that as "The packet's next hop
will be compared to the routing table, and routed out the appropriate
interface to reach that next hop". The problem is that doesen't seem to
be happening. I have tried fiddling a few knobs to no effect -
specifically net.inet.ip.fastforwarding, net.inet.ip.sourceroute and
net.inet.ip.accept_sourceroute.
Telus is the "legacy" ISP, so when I'm trying these rules all the
inbound server requests are from the two Telus interfaces. I have
numbered a rule here "42000". This rule will catch all kinds of packets
outbound from ${ext1_ip}:80 and ${ext1_ip}:443 to clients on the internet.
This tells me my inbound NAT translation is working, the packets are
getting to the server, replies are coming back, they're matching my
forward rules, but still going out the wrong interface anyways!
As attached as I am to the idea of doing this via ipfw, if anyone has
any suggestions on alternate methods to achieve the same results, I'd
love to hear them!!!
On to the technical details - I have obscured IP addresses here, but the
networks and subnet masks remain the same
