#4 Re: svn hangs caused by crappy router/NAT topology Posted by Wayne (89.105.xx.xx) on Fri 9 Nov 2007 at 16:14 I've not come across a consumer grade router that would do this by default, maybe they have moved on and I have never tried it. I normally use shorewall for my firewalls and there advice is "You cannot test your firewall from the inside. Just because you send requests to your firewall external IP address does not mean that the request will be associated with the external interface or the net zone. Any traffic that you generate from the local network will be associated with your local interface and will be treated as loc->fw traffic." I'm not surprised you can redirect the traffic with iptables but I have just never looked into it. Still this is a great tip and one I will remember, thanks.
