Re: Full loop to public IP and back

Does the machine itself have the public IP assigned? Or is the public IP

assigned to a gateway that is then redirecting the traffic to the machine's
private IP?

Unless there is some addtl Cisco-crazy I don't understand, the public IP is
assigned to the gateway (VMware vCloud) and then routed(NAT) to the local
IP.

I'm riding 100 miles (a full century) in the American Diabetes
Association's Tour de Cure to raise money for diabetes research, education,
advocacy, and awareness. You can make a tax deductible donation to my ride
by visiting http://listsig.diabetessucks.net. My goal is $6000 but any
amount is appreciated.
