I wanted to follow up a previous post, where I described the process of configuring a CentOS router for the intention of creating a separate, internal LAN. There we simply deployed a router to separate an external WAN from our LAN and configured the router to pass along all traffic between the two interfaces.

This time I wanted to deploy a router for the purpose of serving content from an internal web server, to an external LAN or WAN.

While this is something that I used recently for a local hackathon, I believe it has greater “real world” application, and can be modified only slightly to accommodate the deployment of other services or applications.
