      i know there have been some conversations about this in the last while i just hope someone can conclude it for me.

      on rc2 box when nat reflection is enabled it sends lan to 127.0.0.1 udp 8001
      the other half though 127.0.0.1 tcp 8001 to opt1 server

      I just cant find exactly where this commit was made to cvs.

      lok forward to the reply

            ok upgraded to snapshot 07-09

            rdr on lan on protocol udp from any to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32 to 127.0.0.1:19006  this line looks fine
            pass in on lan on protocol tcp from any to 127.0.0.1:19006 this line is the problem

            these rules are not 100% as they are from memory but the problem is correct.

            where does the 127.0.0.1:19006 got to i would guess it is a stream of some sort. but i cannot seem to find it.
            i guess this is also wrong as i have added a rule to my user defined rules like so with no success.

            pass in on lan on protocol udp from any to 127.0.0.1:19006

            I can try to put some better logging on this maybe i can get a test up on it tomorrow to give further information.
            can someone answer me about what happens in the loopback and how does it get to the dmz server that i am aiming for.

            the dmz server is working externally and there is nothing hitting it. please believe me i have been attempting to get this working right for
            some time in my own world. but with little sucess as i am lost in the loopback address routing.

            regards

              See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/rdr.html#tcpproxy for further reference. However, it seems to be only a TCP proxy, now as I read through it. Looks like UDP won't work with that  :-\

                thats how i thought it would work i was wondering where the config was for the streams the at least i could get it right and test udp and see if it works.
                i use udp streams using inetd like ideas in linux and it works fine.

                what file are the streams stored in i guess a netstat will tell me what is running???

                  well it seems to be physically possible to do this with udp as well. would you like me to bug track this or will u just remove udp support.
                  sorry the code is a little hard for me to flow through php is not really a strong suit of mine.

                  tested streaming udp through inetd seems to be ok though.

                              Grmbl.  At this point we should just disable UDP and add this to the FAQ.  Reflection was a mistake from the git-go.  Since the sponsor of the feature decided to eat and run then its really left us in a awkward position to be happy about fixing this pile of crap.

                                i empathise with you anyway scott give me a few tips and i can look at it i just need to know how the inetd is called i am presently guessing it is being called at command line for each reflection as i can't find a .conf for it anywhere

                                    ok line 844 has a case for udp that is empty
                                    there is another one a little lower than that.

                                    i am still looking for the rest of it.

                                    how much was the bounty for this scott can we afford to pay it was it a big one

                                      The same code handles tcp and udp.  This is normal for case type statements.

                                            sorted it looks impossible with the nc bit on the end.
