[Gllug] routing broadcast traffic

[Jackson, Harry]

Would this help then

/bin/echo "0" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts 
iptables -A INPUT -i $IFACE -d 192.168.1.255 -j ACCEPT 

I am not sure of the full implications of this but you could route the
broadcasts to any box you want using another IP.

Or this looks wiser.

firewall.iptables

I cut the following from it


QUAKE_PORTS="27900:27920"
IPADDR="63.239.229.96/27"
UNPRIVPORTS="1024:65535"
  
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp \
  			-s 0/0 --sport $QUAKE_PORTS \
  			-d $IPADDR --dport $UNPRIVPORTS -j ACCEPT
