I'm not sure this is a well formed request. You're probably looking for NAT (network address translation): you might look at the HOWTO on IP-masquerading on http://www.tldp.org/ - I've used NAT is to assign private addresses (192.168.0.*) to clients. You appear to want to assign to servers, which is possible. OTOH, you may be trying to set up a proxy server. You might look at the linux HOWTOs again (routing, proxy servers, firewalls, IP-tables), though much of this stuff is at the level where a book would help. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.
