All,

I am changing data centers and want to forward traffic hitting server A to
Server B in another data center.  I was using masquerading and it was
working fine, however a problem has popped its ugly head.  Server B needs
to know the IP address of the client connecting to it.  If it gets
forwarded through Server A, the IP address of Server A is what is given.

I tried to make this work without masquerading but I break the port
forwarding.  I've also Googled myself silly.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Q
