Hello,

It's been a while since I don't need your help, but I've been pulling my hair out on this one and can't seem to figure it out. Here it goes:

I have two servers connected trhough three tunnels:

net1-to-net2
server1-to-net2
net1-to-server2

In this particular case, I had to create the tunnels using an alias interface of eth0, since the servers exchange non encrypted communication, wich is huge and would overload the tunnels if encrypted. In both servers, the external interface is eth0, and there are aliases interfaces eth0:0. I can do that, since both ends have up to four valid ips I can use. So, the scenario is something like:

                            
net1 -> eth0:0 -> eth0 -> internet -> eth0 -> eth0:0 -> net2

To make things more difficult (of course), at server1, there's a second internet link, on wich there are traffic control rules. That would be eth2. To acomplish the balancing between those links, a set of advanced rules using ip rule have been created. I'll not mention the HTB rules here, since they are specifically bonded to eth2, and only eth2. And that's where all the problems began. It was all working 'till I've added that second link and subsequent advanced rules.

Here are the advanced routing rules:

ip rule
0:      from all lookup local
18:     from all fwmark 0x3 lookup router1
19:     from all fwmark 0x4 lookup router2
20:     from all fwmark 0x5 lookup router3
22:     from 189.2.x.x lookup router3 --> ip of eth0:0
22:     from 189.2.x.x lookup router1 --> ip of eth0
23:     from 189.19.x.x lookup router2 --> ip of eth2
32766:  from all lookup main
32767:  from all lookup default

Some iptables rules to direct the traffic to it's desirable destination:
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 189.2.x.x  # make eth0 traffic go through eth0
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j SNAT --to-source 189.19.x.x  # make eth2 traffic go through eth2
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 80 -j MARK --set-mark 3 # http-trafic
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 443 -j MARK --set-mark 3 # http-trafic

$IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 110 -j MARK --set-mark 4 # pop3
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 143 -j MARK --set-mark 4 # imap
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 20 -j MARK --set-mark 4 # ftp
$IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth1 --dport 21 -j MARK --set-mark 4 # ftp

$IPTABLES -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p udp -i eth1 --dport 4500 -j MARK --set-mark 5 # ipsec nat-t redirected to table router3

#
So, all server-to-server and net-to-net traffic is supposed to go through eth0:0 IP, and all roadwarrios connections through eth0 IP. The problem is: it's not. All ipsec thaffic is reaching the other end with IP from eth0, and not eth0:0, giving me this at server2:

pluto[869]: packet from 189.2.x.x:500 (server1 eth0:0): initial Main Mode message received on 189.2.x.x:500 (server2 eth0:0) but no connection has been authorized. (obviously)

And the MOST curious is that in server1 logs, I get a tunnel estabilished through NAT-T with server2:

pluto[1490]: "sp-to-piranet" #38: NAT-Traversal: Result using RFC 3947 (NAT-Traversal): peer is NATed
pluto[1490]: "sp-to-piranet" #38: STATE_MAIN_R3: sent MR3, ISAKMP SA established {auth=OAKLEY_RSA_SIG cipher=oakley_3des_cbc_192 prf=oakley_md5 group=modp1536}

Biy server2 IS NOT nated. There's a route mix up somewhere wich leads server1 to believe that packets delivered to eth0:0 are being nated.

So, as result, from server2 I can ping both server1 and subnet1, but not the other way around. Except if I ping explicitly from the internel interface (eth1), wich does not work for my purposes.

ping 172.31.72.2
PING 172.31.72.2 (172.31.72.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- 172.31.72.2 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 999ms

ping -I eth1 172.31.72.2
PING 172.31.72.2 (172.31.72.2) from 172.31.68.1 eth1: 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 172.31.72.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=127 time=37.1 ms
64 bytes from 172.31.72.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=127 time=33.9 ms
64 bytes from 172.31.72.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=127 time=33.8 ms
--- 172.31.72.2 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2000ms

All roadwarriors connections are working. I'm pretty sure the problem relies on:

$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j SNAT --to-source 189.2.x.x

But I cannot make the advanced rules work without it. I've already tried. And I can't find a way to tell iptables to not SNAT packets with source IP of eth0:0. So, can anyone please help me? Any suggestion would be dearly appreciated.

Thanks, and sorry for the very, very long post.
