IP MASQUERADING??

[ServingSize1can]

How would I set up ipmasquerading on redhat 7.1 (kernal 2.4.2-2). I have two nics on my machine. eth1 has a public address and eth0 has 169.254.0.1 (private). I know that i have to edit the rc.local file but I don't know what to edit to it. Ive done some research and have tried to add some ipchain commands into this file but it did not work after a reboot.

This is what my rc.local files looks like:

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ]; then
R=$(cat /etc/redhat-release)

arch=$(uname -m)
a="a"
case "_$arch" in
_a*) a="an";;
_i*) a="an";;
esac

NUMPROC=`egrep -c "^cpu[0-9]+" /proc/stat`
if [ "$NUMPROC" -gt "1" ]; then
SMP="$NUMPROC-processor "
if [ "$NUMPROC" = "8" -o "$NUMPROC" = "11" ]; then
a="an"
else
a="a"
fi
fi

# This will overwrite /etc/issue at every boot. So, make any changes you
# want to make to /etc/issue here or you will lose them when you reboot.
echo "" > /etc/issue
echo "$R" >> /etc/issue
echo "Kernel $(uname -r) on $a $SMP$(uname -m)" >> /etc/issue

cp -f /etc/issue /etc/issue.net
echo >> /etc/issue
fi
touch /var/lock/subsys/local

Just add :

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -F
ipchains -A forward -p tcp -s 169.254.0.1/24 -j MASQ

that should give access for all machines at 169.254.0.1/24 to where ever they want to go. For further information, I suggest "man ipchains".

Got it going with Redhat 6.1 instead of 7.1
