Following Situation:
Having an intranet-application that needs to know the ip-Address of the
clients before running.
Clients anywere in the Internet with any ip-address.
So I thought about using masquerading the opposite way than normal.
But then anybody could use this application.
Dos anybody know how to make it a little bit more secure, like proofing
the mac-address of the client, or something like this.
Or maby with ip-ip-tunneling ?
