Internal Webserver needs to be reachable via two WAN ports

[miketheknifeMember]

Hello community,

I have been using zeroshell for many years as routers and captive portals or bridges and and i can only say, it comepletely rocks!

but now, i encountered the following problem:

I have a internal Webserver 192.168.10.3 and I would like to be able to access it via both WAN Interfaces. I have a straight
forward setup with two WAN ports.

| I |  +

+    | Zeroshell   |

| N +--+ CABLE ROUTER +----+ ETH00 0x66  |

| T |  |              |    | DYNAMIC IP  |                            +

+

| E |  +

+    |             |                            | Webserver    |

| R |                      |             +-- ETH02 LAN 192.168.10.1 --+ 192.168.10.3 |

| N |  +

+     | ETH01 0x65  |                            +

+

| E +--+ ADSL ROUTER +

+ 195.65.46.2 |

| T |  | 195.65.46.1 |     | 195.65.46.3 |

+---+  +

+     +

The Setup:
– Two Virtual Server rules
ETH00 / ANY TCP 80 192.168.10.3:80
ETH01 / 195.65.46.3 TCP 80 192.168.10.3:80

– Firewall Rules
ETH02 ETH00 ACCEPT all opt — in ETH02 out ETH00 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0.0.0.0/0
ETH00 ETH02 ACCEPT all opt — in ETH00 out ETH02 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ETH02 ETH01 ACCEPT all opt — in ETH02 out ETH01 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0.0.0.0/0
ETH01 ETH02 ACCEPT all opt — in ETH01 out ETH02 0.0.0.0/0 -> 0.0.0.0/0 state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
* * ACCEPT tcp opt — in * out * 0.0.0.0/0 -> 192.168.10.3 tcp dpt:80
* * ACCEPT tcp opt — in * out * 192.168.10.3 -> 0.0.0.0/0 tcp spt:80

– Routing Table – ETH00 is set as Default Gateway
195.65.46.0 255.255.255.240 Net 0 none ETH01 U Up Auto
192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 Net 0 none ETH02 U Up Auto
195.127.196.0 255.255.252.0 Net 0 none ETH00 U Up Auto
DEFAULT GATEWAY 0.0.0.0 Net 0 195.127.196.1 ETH00 UG Up Auto

– Netbalancer
DEFAULT GATEWAY 195.202.196.1 1 Disabled 0
ADSL 195.65.46.1 1 Spare 0
CABLE 195.127.196.1 99 Active 0

So far So good,

I am able to connect to my Webserver via the ETH00 interface OK. When i use the ADSL Interface probably
whats happening is asynchronus routing the packets come in on ETH01 and the asnwer is going out though
the ETH00 Deafult gateway.

i tried something like this in the Startup/Cron under “NAT and virual Servers”

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING 1 -d 195.65.46.3 -i ETH01 -j DNAT –to-destination 192.168.10.1
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING 1 -s 192.168.10.1 -o ETH01 -j SNAT –to-source 195.65.46.3

OR i tried to mark incomming Packets on the ADSL ETH01
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING 2 -i ETH01 -m state –state NEW -j MARK –set-mark 0x65

with no success i managed to either get the ADSL working or the Cable, but not Both interfaces. There must be
a simple solution for this problem. i just dont see how 🙁 I spent now 2 days on this and finally decided to post
a forum thread.

Is someone there that has solved this Puzzle 😉 ?
