Network access through a hotspot

Show all headers | View raw

	I have a Linux PC L that is connected to the Internet through a 
LAN N, with IP addresses in the 192.168.0 network. L is acting as a 
hotspot for wireless devices, in a network N' with IP addresses in the 
10.0.0 network. When a wireless device connects to L, L supplies W (with 
the help of dnsmasq) with its IP address and DNS server IP address, all 
in the N' network. This setup works as expected, in that W can access the 
Internet without any problems.

	As configured, L will supply W with L's own IP address in N' as 
the IP address of the DNS server to be used by W. Ideally, what I would 
like to do is for L to supply the IP address of a different system, in N 
- not in N', for W to use as its DNS server.

	Can this be done at all? I guess I can create all sorts of routes 
in L between N and N' - in fact, that is already done, for W can access 
the Internet, and that is done through N.

	Abstracting from the setup above, can L be configured so that W, 
when connected to the hotspot created in L, can access, besides the 
Internet, any system in N?
