Network address translation of eestination address on the sending server.

Latest response

Hello community members,

I received a request from one of our project managers, where I do not know if this is possible to implement.

On a server there are scripts that send traffic to a destination that is defined by an ip address, he says is would be hard to update all scripts.

He came with the suggestion to implement NAT on the server. So if the script sends traffic to ip address A the iptables firewall sound translate it to ip-address B. I cannot find any examples for this kind of request.

The examples I find are server A sends traffic to server B, server B acts like a firewall and forwards the traffic to server C.

KInd regards,

Jan Gerrit Kootstra
