Hi,

I'm struggling with my iptables configuration since I've installed Xen. Before, I had the host/dom0 doing port forwarding with:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d $PUBLIC_IP \
        --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.190

That worked like a charm. After installing and starting Xen, I found out eth0 became peth0 and being bridged in xenbr0. That's all fine and documented. So I thought I could just alter the incomming interface from eth0 to xenbr0 in the above port forwarding rule:

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i xenbr0 -d $PUBLIC_IP \
        --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.190

But that doesn't work anymore. The rule's packet counter counts up when sending a packet to port 80, but it does not make it into the FORWARD table of iptables.

Does xenbr0 block this packet somehow? I've been reading about ebtables, but only got some C source examples.

Help greatly appreciated.

Regards

Markus
