Anyone know how to route traffic from host A through host B for a particular IP and back?
We have traffic that leaves our network and is only accepted by the other network if it's a particular IP. It's a royal PITA getting the other end to accept traffic from another IP so we thought to save time we might route other IP traffic through the host with the accepted IP, and back. We have:
Host A - AIX WPAR
Host B - AIX Host (global - different box)
Host C - Host A WPAR's Global
I've tried all forms of 'route add -host x.x.x.x -interface x.x.x.x to no avail - I think Im struggling with the fact the ping/telnet queries I'm using to test don't know how to get back to Host A. But I'm clueless on this really.
Host A (the WPAR) shares the routing table with it's underlying Global with a unique IP so I am assuming I make the changes on that Host C.
Just in case, a WPAR is AIX's equivalent of Solaris Zones/Containers.
Ta!
