[vox] quake3 serving from behind a firewall

[Peter Jay Salzman <MAPSp@dirac.org>]

ok, after much procrastination, i rolled up my sleeves and set up a
quake3 server.   here's the topology of my LAN:


--- 64.164.47.8
   mephisto
   LEAF
   firewall                         192.168.0.2  satan
   192.168.0.1 -------------------- 192.168.0.3  navalle
                                    192.168.0.4  lucifer
                                    192.168.0.4  lucifer
                                    192.168.0.4  moloch

on the firewall:

# ipmasqadm portfw -l
prot localaddr        rediraddr               lport    rport  pcnt pref

i ran the dedicated server on satan (192.168.0.2):

q3ded +set dedicated 2 +net_ip 64.164.47.8 +map q3dm17 +set com_hunkmegs 200


now on satan (192.168.0.2), i *can't* connect to the server by
specifying a connect to server 64.164.47.8 which surprises me.  however,
i can connect to the server by specifying 192.168.0.2 which is no
surprise.

however, on lucifer (192.168.0.4) i *can* connect to the server by
specifying a connect to server 64.164.47.8.  i can also specify
192.168.0.2.  this is groovy.

because lucifer can connect to the server via 64.164.47.8, it seems to
indicate that things have been set up correctly.  however, i'm a bit
surprised that satan cannot connect to this address.

any ideas?

if someone with quake3 can try to connect to 64.164.47.8 and let me know
whether you can connect ok, i'd be grateful.

thanks!
pete
