On the other hand, 10 minutes after i had sent my mail (and 3 coffee later to be precise) i saw also a picture from wikipedia (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/thumb/3/3e/Netfilter_schema.png/400px-Netfilter_schema.png) explaining how packets went through the different ip tables and it was directly clear : even packets leaving the local box (and being processed in the OUTPUT filter) are still processed in the nat table (postrouting filter) so a simple SNAT rule did the job perfectly too ;-) In fact it's the first time that i have to modify packets leaving a linux gateway and i thought that only packets being forwarded (and so traversing the FORWARD filter) could also being modified in the nat table ... I've also had a look in the sysconfig.txt file to see how your solution could be applied but it's still not very clear how that can be done. But using GATEWAYDEV=eth3 (eth3 having my public-ip/32 while eth3:1 having my 192.168.X.X/24 ip) in the /etc/sysconfig/network and declaring a GATEWAY=192.168.X.X (isp router ip) in the ifcfg-eth3:1 does also the job. But a `route -n` is strange though : " 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth3" like for the old ppp stuff So multiple ways to solve the initial question ... -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` ; test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` ; test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh
