Hi,
I have two servers in the same subnet, one has this arrangement:
BOX A [3 ips, one real two vips]
BOX B [1 ip]
I need to redirect input from one of the vips (192.168.0.1:8080) on BOX A to BOX B (192.168.0.2:8080) and I'm about to pull my hair out. Can anyone lend a hand? All my searching leads me to home firewall type arrangements using DNAT. I tried to bend one of those to fit my situation but it was a no go (most likely due to my lack of knowledge with iptables)

Try this tutorial its long but thorough . http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html There are several examples that you should be able to craft to fit your needs. First you make a forward chain and then prerouting chain with DNAT. Be advised if you don't have console access you can cut off your access very easy with iptables. Dan
