iproute2: RTNETLINK answers: File exists

Trying to setup NAT. What does this supposed to mean, which file ?

/etc/rc.d# ip route add nat $DUMMY via $REAL
RTNETLINK answers: File exists

 
 
 

1. IP Route RTNETLINK Error: File Exists

Here's the setup:

The Linux Box has 2 NIC's eth0:External and eth1:Internal, it also has an
aliased IP on eth0:1

I am attempting to use NAT to forward the IP on eth0:1 to an internal IP
address using the following:

ip route add nat 24.x.x.x via 192.168.1.x

Every time I try this I get the following:

RTNETLINK error: file exists

I have also tried forwarding the IP on eth0 and got the same error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What I am trying to do is forward one of our external IP's to an internal
Web box.
It already works if I use IPMasq forwarding for the http port, but
unfortunately we also want to be able to get to this site from inside as
well, thus the NAT solution.

Thanks
