(route) dst-nat to proxy without changing route?

    Hi,

     

    We've got a situation where we need to redirect guest traffic towards a proxy in a different subnet.

    The proxy is on an internal subnet. The default gateway for the guests is a firewall that specifically allows this traffic.

     

    We've implemented a simple dst-nat to the proxy policy in the user-role which does the trick except for 1 issue.

     

    The problem is that guest-traffic is pulled out of the guest vlan and routed (using the controllers routing table) over the internal LAN. This arrives at the firewall which sees it as guest traffic coming from an internal interface and drops it.

     

    Is there a way to achieve this without changing the routing table of the controller?

     

    I looked at the "route dst-nat" option which from the description appears to be exactly what I need but I cannot seem to enter my dst address (or the next hop) anywhere?

    You could use the little-known ESI redirect.

     

    Put the "redirect" session acl in your role for the redirect to work:

     

    esi ping health-30sec
      frequency 30
      timeout 1
      retry-count 2
    !
    esi server friendly-name-of-proxy-server
      mode route
      trusted-ip-addr 192.168.1.50 (proxy ip address)
      untrusted-ip-addr 192.168.1.50 (proxy ip address again)
    !
    esi group proxy-group
      ping health-30sec
      server friendly-name-of-proxy-server
    !
    
    
    ip access-list session "redirect"
       any any any redirect esi-group "proxy-group" direction forward 
    !
