Hi, I need to allow connections from the Internet to a particular service on one of my company's host machines. However, this host must never see, or be seen, from the Internet! I would like to setup a Linux PC to act as a sort of proxy to forward IP packets destined for its own IP address on a certain port on a machine on another network without exposing this other network and its hosts to the Internet. How do I go about doing this? ...that is to say; A host on the Internet MUST think that it is communicating with a service on a particular port of the Linux PC, but in reality it is communicating with that service on another host! NOTE: Connection to this service will ALWAYS originate from the Internet. Also, the internal network is using unregistered class C addresses. Please help - thanks, Matthew Bennetts
