Re: [FW-1] Accessing Servers via Public IPs from Private Network



Another way is to setup a "private" dns that your users on the inside use,
and set it up to forward all external requests to a "public" dns server.  If
you go this route, just make sure that you setup a private entry on the
private dns for every public entry that exists.

you can do it.  you need to do the "dual nat trick".  refer to

from Internal Net

X,

        I believe that you are running into the issue that Check Point
refers to as
"double NAT-ing", which FW-1 does not/can not support. Say a workstation,
192.168.1.5, goes out your FW to request a page from www.test.com, the
request itself is NATted by the firewall, that's NAT #1...the request gets
to your FW, and www.test.com is static NATted to 192.168.1.11...that's the
2nd instance of NAT, which is referred to as "double NAT" which isn't
supported by FW-1. One workaround on your machines on the 192.168.1.0
network, is the use of host files that resolve www.test.com to 192.168.1.11,
rather than making a DNS request which resolves to 11.11.11.11. I think that
this solution would also apply to your internal network machines.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [FW-1] Accessing Servers via Public IPs from Private Network


Can someone tell me if the following is possible with
Checkpoint 4.1?

I'm setting up a DMZ (ie. a NATted Private network)
which will have both servers and workstations, say
using the IP network 192.168.1.0/24.

Some of the servers that I'm setting up within the
private network will be accessible from the Internet
via Public IPs. This requires a public DNS server to
distribute the public IP.  For this example say the
public IP of the server is 11.11.11.11 and the private
IP of the server is 192.168.1.11.

I've got this setup and working.  When I access
www.test.com (11.11.11.11) I get the server within the
private network.

My question is, can the workstations within the
private network also access the same server via the
public IP?

I cannot seem to access the server using the public IP
from a workstation within the same network.  If I use
the private IP (192.168.1.11) of the server everything
works fine.

Is there a way to configure Checkpoint to allow that
or am I forced to setup a DNS server within the
private network and distribute the private IP when
accessing www.test.com?

Thanks.
X
