I have a Nokia 330 w/FW-1 4.1 sp5. I have a web server(http) and a media server(rtmp) and both are running over port 80. is it possible to create a rule based upon some type of protocol detection to forward the appropriate protocol to the correct server??? rtmp needs to go to one server and http needs to go over to the other, but they need to appear as the same Ip address to the public, but the firewall needs to route the correct protocol to the appropriate server. thanks in advance.
 
I'm not aware of anything that will allow you to do what you have described. It's pretty simple to perform the port forwarding, but the firewall will be unable to determine where to send the traffic.

One option could be if one of the services always originated from a certain IP or network (something that could be defined in the "source" field). Then you could have two rules to perform the forwarding.


Hope this helps

I have a similar issue that I am getting ready to work.. Could someone explain what two rules would have to set up ...
I have set up a source which has a public IP. I have two workstations behind the firewall with private network addresses which have been NAT'd to public IP.
I have a static route on the firewall to route traffic to the internal network through the NAT's address.
I have resources of TCP and UDP in the port range of 5900-5901 which I have been told that traffic would use.

Does this sound like I am on the right track? Do I need to add anything different to the static route on the firewall to direct traffic through specific ports? I am working with Cisco equipment on routing. What would the syntax be to modify the ARP?

Thanks
