Is it possible to NAT [net address] to [Internet address]

Hi all,
I'm developing a video streaming product on a Linux box which does video
multicast to all address of my subnet 192.168.10.0-254.

Since some clients gets connected from Internet (so they haven't
got a static address but they get an IP address from the Internet Provider)
is it possible (and advisable too) to translate for example
192.168.10.1 to XX.XX.XX.XX
where 'XX.XX.XX.XX' is the IP address you get dynamically from the
provider ?

Hope I was clear.
Thanks a lot in advance
Francesco

You weren't, sorry...

Of course it is possible, but to decide how to do it in Your specific
environment requires a picture of what You do, and how.

Now, how do those remote clients connect, and where to (some router, I
assume)? - How would You address those clients apart from Your project?


Cheers, Jack.

Ok, so you have an internal service but want it on the web.

Well then you want port forwarding...



You need to give to the internet clients a real internet address, or a
domain name that looks up to a real internet address....

So then they connect to that interent address on some port , and then the
connection is forwarded to your internal service .. well this can be done
with port forwarding (which is used along with NAT.. nat for outwards
traffic, port forwarding for inward traffic, right ? ), which forwards the
packets on but with the ip address of the server address changed to be your
internal server.

See linux howto's on how to do port forwarding.

Hi all,
let me explain better. I have an application that sends video & audio.
I can send the data using:

1) peer to peer connection
2) multicast to all address of the subnet

I'd like to use the second as it's more efficient.
The problem is that some client connect from a dial-up connection
so they don't belong to my subnet.
Here's what happens:
clients 1 connects to the site from address 10.12.10.174
client 2 connects to the site from address 10.12.10.186

I want to multicast video so to the subnet 192.168.0.X that

192.168.0.1 -------> 10.12.10.174
192.168.0.2 -------> 10.12.10.186
..........

As new connections arrive, this "map" should be updated dynamically.
Is it possible to do it?
Thanks a lot
Francesco
