Hide NAT aka Public IPs behind a firewal

by sturner . Updated 23 years ago

I really need help here! lol

I run a network with the private 192.x.x.x subnet behind a firewall. A company that we are beginging to do work with requires us to VPN to them via our firewall to their Checkpoint system.

According to them our internal network has to have a routable IP scope. So hince my need for help!

How do I determine my scope? My intial thought was that I could use any IP’s I wanted (becasue it is behind a firewall) so I simply subnetted my public proxy ip (using a subnet calc) and implemented it. The caveot here is that if you try to go across the vpn it ping, DNS returns the name of the company that really owns the IP’s I am trying to use behind the firewall.

So can anyone help and give me some direction here? PLease! Is there a block of IP’s set aside for this type of issue that are routable but not used on the Inet?
