SHOREWALL-NAT(5)					      SHOREWALL-NAT(5)

NAME
       nat - Shorewall one-to-one NAT file

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/shorewall/nat

DESCRIPTION
       This file is used to define one-to-one Network Address Translation
       (NAT).

       Warning
       If all you want to do is simple port forwarding, do NOT use this file.
       See http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm#faq1[1]. Also, in many cases,
       Proxy ARP (shorewall-proxyarp[2](5)) is a better solution that
       one-to-one NAT.

       The columns in the file are as follows.

       EXTERNAL - {address|COMMENT}
	   External IP Address - this should NOT be the primary IP address of
	   the interface named in the next column and must not be a DNS Name.

	   If you put COMMENT in this column, the rest of the line will be
	   attached as a comment to the Netfilter rule(s) generated by the
	   following entries in the file. The comment will appear delimited by
	   "/* ... */" in the output of "shorewall show nat"

	   To stop the comment from being attached to further rules, simply
	   include COMMENT on a line by itself.

       INTERFACE - interfacelist[:[digit]]
	   Interfaces that have the EXTERNAL address. If ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes in
	   shorewall.conf[3](5), Shorewall will automatically add the EXTERNAL
	   address to this interface. Also if ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes, you may
	   follow the interface name with ":" and a digit to indicate that you
	   want Shorewall to add the alias with this name (e.g., "eth0:0").
	   That allows you to see the alias with ifconfig.  That is the only
	   thing that this name is good for -- you cannot use it anwhere else
	   in your Shorewall configuration.

	   Each interface must match an entry in shorewall-interfaces[4](5).
	   Shorewall allows loose matches to wildcard entries in
	   shorewall-interfaces[4](5). For example, ppp0 in this file will
	   match a shorewall-interfaces[4](5) entry that defines ppp+.

	   If you want to override ADD_IP_ALIASES=Yes for a particular entry,
	   follow the interface name with ":" and no digit (e.g., "eth0:").

       INTERNAL - address
	   Internal Address (must not be a DNS Name).

       ALL INTERFACES - [Yes|No]
	   If Yes or yes, NAT will be effective from all hosts. If No or no
	   (or left empty) then NAT will be effective only through the
	   interface named in the INTERFACE column.

       LOCAL - [Yes|No]
	   If Yes or yes, NAT will be effective from the firewall system
