Lets think, that you have only one external IP -- $EXTIP.

And you want to have several vservers runned without think about port overlapping.

The one solution is:

* You put all vservers into "virtual lan", say 192.168.1.x

* Every vsever have it own IP

* Control port forwarding on host like on real server.

So, what you doing:

1. Set up dummy0 iface on host

Example:

Two vservers run a default webserver, running on port 80. If each "guest" vserver shares an IP with the host, then the two webservers will confict.

One solution is:

* All vservers are contained in a "virtual lan", say 192.168.1.x

* Each vserver has its own IP

* Control port forwarding on "parent" host. That is, run a router.

This is how to set it up:

1. Set up dummy0 interface on the parent host

Changed:
# /etc/network/interfaces on debian box,
# /etc/network/interfaces on a Debian box,

2. Set up your vserver:
2. Set up each guest vserver:
Changed:
# Contents of /etc/vservers/<vserver>/interface/0/

dev: dummy0

ip: 192.168.1.1

name: 1

prefix: 24

cd /etc/vservers/$VSERVER/interfaces/0

echo dummy0 > dev

echo 192.168.1.1 > ip

echo 1 > name

echo 24 > prefix

Changed:
I suggest you to use value of name equal to last digit of ip -- for easy separation

3. Now, configure firewall on server:

3. Now, configure the host to act as a router.

3a: For internal packets going outside, pretend each packet came from our external IP:

Changed:
And for each service that runned on vhosts local address $VHOST and port $INTPORT you select one external port $EXTPORT and map it by running

3b: For each service that runs on a vserver, map it to an external port. Vserver local address $VHOST and port $INTPORT you select one external port $EXTPORT and run the following:

Changed:
Thats all!
That's all!
Changed:
Try to connect to your $EXTIP:$EXTPORT (from other server) -- you will successfully connect to service at your vserver.
Try to connect to your $EXTIP:$EXTPORT (from another external host) -- you will successfully connect to service running on a guest vserver.
