<P>If you are doing SNAT, you will want to make sure that every
machine the SNAT'ed packets goes to will send replies back to the NAT
box.  For example, if you are mapping some outgoing packets onto the
source address 1.2.3.4, then the outside router must know that it is
to send reply packets (which will have <B>destination</B> 1.2.3.4)
back to this box.  This can be done in the following ways:</P>
<P>
<OL>
<LI> If you are doing SNAT onto the box's own address (for which
routing and everything already works), you don't need to do
anything.
</LI>
<LI> If you are doing SNAT onto an unused address on the local LAN
(for example, you're mapping onto 1.2.3.99, a free IP on your
1.2.3.0/24 network), your NAT box will need to respond to ARP
requests for that address as well as its own: the easiest way
to do this is create an IP alias, e.g.:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
# ip address add 1.2.3.99 dev eth0
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>

</LI>
<LI> If you are doing SNAT onto a completely different address, you
will have to ensure that the machines the SNAT packets will hit
will route this address back to the NAT box.  This is already
achieved if the NAT box is their default gateway, otherwise you
will need to advertise a route (if running a routing protocol)
or manually add routes to each machine involved.</LI>
