[cobalt-users] PMFirewall and IPChains: Virtual Sites Stops Working

["Troy Arnold" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think I found something related. Wanted everyones advice (especially
Gerald's).

On PMFirewall's mailing list I found the following...
>I have my setup running 7 virtual iP's works fine...
>first step is to open pmfirewall.conf in an editor....
>then find this line.
>OUTERNET=$OUTERIP/$OUTERMASK
>and add something like this under it...
>OUTERNET2=204.49.12.55/255.255.255.0
>OUTERNET3=204.49.12.56/255.255.255.0
>OUTERNET4=204.49.12.57/255.255.255.0
>OUTERNET5=204.49.12.58/255.255.255.0
>Where they are your virtual IP's
>Then save and close that and open pmfirewall.rules.local
>then simply replicate the allow rules that you want to work with the other
interface and >replace OUTERNET in that rule with OUTERNET2, or OUTERNET3 or
OUTERNET4  >you get the idea...

>Restart pmfirewall with ./pmfirewall restart and you are off and running..

Does this sound right. I swear I tested this method but I am going to give
it another shot. I have 32 ips I use for my virtual sites (all in a
block)... any ideas on setting OUTERNET2 to a block of ips? instead of
manually setting each one up. Wanted your input Gerald. What do you think?

Best regards,
