From 52e3b3d1bbd97ed01794b8c53254a124ae5de0ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Laine Stump Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 15:26:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix incorrect info about routed networks In a recent expansion of the documentation on network forward modes, I incorrectly stated that incoming sessions to guests on routed networks were blocked. This is true for guests on NATed networks, but not routed. This patch corrects that error, and adds a pointer to the nwfilter page for those who do want to restrict incoming sessions to hosts on routed networks. --- docs/formatnetwork.html.in | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/formatnetwork.html.in b/docs/formatnetwork.html.in index e06392b867..02302fafa0 100644 --- a/docs/formatnetwork.html.in +++ b/docs/formatnetwork.html.in @@ -134,12 +134,12 @@ attribute is set, firewall rules will restrict forwarding to the named device only.
