FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain)
Masquerade all hosts under a domain V8.8 and later
Ordinarily, masquerading transforms any host from a
list of hosts in the class $=w ($=w
on page 876) into the host defined by MASQUERADE_AS.
If domains are also masqueraded with
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN, they too are transformed. For
example, consider these declarations:
MASQUERADE_AS(`our.domain') MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`her.domain')
The first line causes any host part of an address
contained in the class $=w to be transformed into
our.domain. The second line
transforms the domain part of
her.domain into
our.domain.
The key point here is that the domain part her.domain will be transformed, whereas hosts under that domain will not be transformed:
george@her.domain becomes → george@our.domain george@host.her.domain remains → george@host.her.domain
If you wish MASQUERADE_DOMAIN to transform all the
hosts under the declared domain, you can use
FEATURE(masquerade_entire_domain):
MASQUERADE_AS(`our.domain') MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`her.domain') FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')
This feature extends masquerading of her.domain to include all the hosts under that domain:
george@her.domain becomes → george@our.domain george@host.her.domain becomes → george@host.her.domain george@host.sub.her.domain becomes → george@our.domain
Note that you can masquerade only domains that are under your direct jurisdiction and control. Also note that domain masquerading is intended for actual domains. Virtual domains are better handled with the ...
