Hello. I connect to the internet with a cable modem using the PPPoE protocol. I am in the process of configuring IP Masquerading in my internal network, using my Red Hat Linux 7.3 box as the gateway (IP MASQ server). I am following the IP Masquerading HOWTO, but I am having some difficult in setting the stronger ruleset for IPTABLE.
I am noticing that the IP address I receive is not constant, but change even after connected to the internet. As the ruleset used with IPTABLE depends on this IP address, I suppose I have to rerun the IPTABLE ruleset after each time I get a new IP address. I have a /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script used to set the IPTABLE ruleset, and it should be run every time I receive a new IP address. Attached is an excerpt from the /var/log/messages file (with uninteresting lines deleted) demonstrating the changing IP addresses. What is the correct (best) way of accomplishing this with RHL 7.3?
