Is pfSense keeping track about ip:port usages when using multiple private LAN's?
-
Hello,
I have got a pfSense box which has 10 private IP LAN networks. I use NAT to get these 10 private networks on the Internet. I don't use a single public IP address but a IP pool of public addresses, a /29 to be exact. I use the same IP pool for all 10 private LAN networks. I was just wondering if pfSense keeps track of the usage between the various NAT states between the NAT tables when using the same shared pool? For example, is pfSense keeping track that there is a entry using a public IP and port ip.ip.ip.ip:portso that it will not use the same for an other NAT table?
I'm asking because normaly a state table is build using <private ip:port="">and <public ip:port="">. When multiple networks use the same public IP it need to check only the <public ip:port="">.
regards</public></public></private></ip.ip.ip.ip:port>

I don't think anyone has any idea what you're asking. You might want to clarify.

There's only one state table and every single packet that is possible to filter gets compared to entries in that table. There are no separate NAT or filter rule tables by interface either, they are all global and rule matching uses the interface information in addition to the IP header information.
