[Xen-users] XEN Bridging, Nating and VPN

["Athanasios Zorbas" <athanasios.zorbas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

There is a Suse 10 dom0 machine which is acting as a router. It has two ethernet cards, one assigned a public address and the other a private one. The machine also logins to a VPN server on the public network (via eth0) and it can route traffic requests from one network to another. This is the configuration:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:05:AC:15:26
          inet addr:xxxxxxx  Bcast:xxxxxxxx  Mask:255.255.252.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::230:5ff:feac:1526/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
 
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:10:A7:16:AC:E6
          inet addr:
192.168.0.1  Bcast:
192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::210:a7ff:fe16:ace6/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
 
ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
          inet addr:10.1.251.25  P-t-P:xxxxxxxx  Mask:
255.255.255.255
          UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1000  Metric:1
 
I use XEN with bridging on eth1 card and that results in that domUs have adresses from 192.168.0.0 network. It all works fine, except that I cannot access the 
10.0.0.0/8
 from 192.168.0.0/24 anymore. The following rules work when XEN bridge is not enabled:

ip route add '
10.0.0.0/8' dev 'ppp0'
iptables --insert OUTPUT 1 --source 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 --destination 
10.0.0.0/8 --jump ACCEPT --out-interface 'ppp0'
iptables --insert INPUT 1 --source 
10.0.0.0/8 --destination 
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 --jump ACCEPT --in-interface 'ppp0'
iptables --insert FORWARD 1 --source 
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 --destination 10.0.0.0/8 --jump ACCEPT --out-interface 'ppp0'
iptables --insert FORWARD 1 --source 
10.0.0.0/8 --destination 

0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 --jump ACCEPT
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface 'ppp0' --jump MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --protocol tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN --jump TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu

but they do no work when the packets come through the xen bridge. The problem is that the packets that coming out from the ppp0 interface have source ip 192.68.0.x rather than 
10.1.251.25
, the address of the ppp0 interface, ie masquerading does not work.

What rules should I have to so both networks, 
10.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/24
, speak to each other? Do I have to use ebtables together with iptables or not?

Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Thanasis
