Appendix B: Using Reserved IP Addresses
166 Equalizer Installation and Administration Guide
If servers placed on a non-routable network need to communicate with hosts on the Internet for any
reason (such as performing DNS resolution or sending email), you must configure Equalizer to
perform outbound NAT (network address translation). When you have enabled outbound NAT,
Equalizer translates connections originating from the servers on the reserved network so that
external hosts will not see packets originating from non-routable addresses.
To enable Equalizer to perform outbound NAT, follow these steps:
1. Open the Equalizer Administration Interface and log in under edit mode.
2. In the left frame, click the Equalizer entry at the top of the column.
3. Select Change Equalizer Parameters from the local menu. The modify system parameters
screen appears in the right frame.
4. Check the enable outbound NAT.
5. Click the commit button.
You will find a worksheet for configuring and using reserved IP addresses in “Equalizer
Configuration Worksheets” on page 16.
Note – If you’re using a Failover configuration, use the same outbound NAT setting on both
Equalizers.
