    Network-address-translation (NAT) on a Linux system with Iptables rules so that the system can act as a gateway and provide Internet access to multiple hosts on a local network using a single public IP address. This is achieved by rewriting the source and/or destination addresses of IP packets as they pass through the NAT system.

    Minimum Requirements are any Linux OS, Iptables and Two Network interface card.

    1. Configure eth0 for Internet with a Public IP
    2. Configure eth1 for LAN with a Private IP (Internal private network)
    3. DNS Configuration
    4. NAT configuration with IP Tables.....Read On1
