Your initial post was 4 ip addresses from 10-13, their is no legal |
| 27 |
subnet that contains only those four ip addresses. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
This time you posted 5 ip addresses from 186-190, again , no legal |
| 30 |
subnet. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Since you don't actually have an ip network, but a few addresses |
| 33 |
belonging to a network you need to use host routes. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
You can google for stuff like "ip subnet" and "CIDR" for more |
| 36 |
information. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Be careful with just using postrouting and prerouting chains, if you |
| 39 |
really don't understand the flow you will likely get yourself into |
| 40 |
trouble. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Hence back to host routing as was previously suggested. |
