Re: Port Forwarding Question

I'm pretty sure that it will work correctly through the NAT. Should be
extremely easy to test. Just configure it up and see.

Hi,
I have a general question about port forwarding:
Let's assume I have the following scenario:
I have a router (Hardware router) with 2 interfaces. One interface
connected
to the internet and the other interface connected to my LAN. I set up port
forwarding for http traffic(Port 80) to a specific IP address in my LAN.
The
server to which the traffic is forwarded hosts a website which runs on
IIS.
When a client from the internet enters the url bound to the address of the
external interface of my router the traffic will be passed to the
webserver.
Now I have set up the website to log all traffic in IIS. For all
connections
an event will be written to the logfile of that specific website.
Now my question is the following:
Will I be able to see the IP address of the host that initiated the
connection in the logfile? (The internet client) or will I only see the
address of the router interface that is connected to my LAN?
For security purposes the original IP address of the client should be
logged. Will I be able to do that with NAT-Port forwarding as decribed
above?

Please advise.
