Proxy arp not responding

You need to tell your box to respond to the arp requests (in /proc.., switching on proxy arp) and with which address to respond to the arp-requests:

arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.35 eth1 pub

there is a possibility to supply a network mask, but you could also just stick lines for .35 to .62 in script file.

That's what I am doing, but it is not working.

The script:

#! /bin/bash

#eth0 = 192.168.0.1
#eth1 = x.x.x.60
#eth2 = 10.0.0.1

iptables --flush
iptables -t nat --flush
iptables -t mangle --flush
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to x.x.x.36-x.x.x.59
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.36 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.37 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.38 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.39 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.40 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.41 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.42 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.43 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.44 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.45 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.46 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.47 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.48 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.49 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.50 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.51 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.52 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.53 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.54 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.55 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.56 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.57 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.58 eth1 pub
arp -i eth1 -Ds x.x.x.59 eth1 pub
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# end of script

Now pinging from 192.168.0.2:
ping x.x.x.34

tcpdump on x.x.x.34 host:

As you can see there is no arp reply.
I am using Julian Atanasov's patches if they are making any difference in replying.

Oops,

Just read up on proxy arp (didn't use it since the 2.0 kernels...) You can't use it for this purpose, you can only use it to reply to arp queries that are directed at other ip-networks. So in this particular case you should just assign extra ip's to your interface:

ip addr add x.x.x.35 dev eth1

That should do the trick :-)
You can switch off proxy arp off course

Ok this is working :-)
Just to make sure that I understand what's going on, please correct me if I am wrong:

1. The packets originating from 192.168.0.0/24 network while passing POSTROUTING chain are SNAT-ed with one address of x.x.x.36-59 range and computer keeps track of SNAT-ed adresses and established connections.
2. When a packet from internet arrives on eth1 with destination x.x.x.36-59 and this packet is a part of  previously established connection with 192.168.0.0/24      host, it will be DNAT-ed to correct address and forwarded to 192.168.0.0 network..
3.When a packet from internet arrives on eth1 with destination x.x.x.36-59 and this packet is not a part of  previously established connection with 192.168.0.0/24 host, it will be destined to a local computer, and filtering this traffic in the INPUT chain would prevent any connection to local computer.

Thank you.
