Static & Hide NAT Question

[jmillercw]

All,

Quick Question:

I've got a server that has a public IP address static NAT'd to it via the Node configuration.

The problem I have is that I also need it to hide behind the IP address we use for our Hide NAT. I can't seem to see how I would go about doing this. We did it on the MUCH older Checkpoint I just migrated away from 2 weeks ago, but now I can't seem to get it to work.

Version: NGX-R65
Platform: Secure Platform

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

You can define manual rules or maybe position the Hide rule above the static ones.

However, you must be careful with what you configure.

Automatic static NAT (created on the object), creates 2 rules:
node | any | any | nated | = | =
any | nated | any | = | node | =

This means that traffic goes out with the NAT IP and goes in with the real, usually private IP. (simplifying things a bit here)
If you want it to be seen somewhere as another IP, you must create specific rules.

If you state exactly what you want to achieve, it will be much easier to tell you what to do.
