"Transparent" Mode in IPCop / smoothwall / MNF (real IP inside firewall)
Currently I want to replace my firewall (sonicwall) in data center, as it was configed as "transparent" mode as follows.
Public | | | | Firewall (123.456.789.10) | | |------------------------------------------- | | | | Web1 Web2 Ftp1 Ftp2
IP: 123.456.789.11 123.456.789.12 .13 .14 Gw: 123.456.789.10 .10 .10 .10
It means all the server inside firewal is using Real/public IP, instead of the 192.168 internal IP. And I can still control the port opening of the .11 to .14 in the rule setting interface.
I have searched though all the forums and still can't get the following answers.
- Can IPCop / smoothwall / MNF support the above setting -- "transparent" mode ? If yes, how to set ?
- I am not sure the above servers should be put in the lan(internal) or the (dmz) ?
The purpose of the firewall is to protect the server and port forwarding only.
