How can i create fake IP addresses to extract information for the DB?

**neomancer** · May 6th, 2009, 12:03 PM

Hi

I am developing a java web application that runs on tomcat. It's publicly available on the Internet so all connections I receive are from external IP addresses (DMZ).

This app opens connections to a couple of databases and extracts some information. One of these databases is limited to two connections per IP address per hour which is not enough for my web application. (also i am not the administrator of the DB).

Is there any way i can create fake addresses in order to extract information for the DB, maybe a "IP Pool" or something?

Sure i could go and talk to the DBAs and explain the situation, but first i was looking for a "programmer approach".

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

Hey neomancer and welcome to the forums.

So you need to be able to make it so the database can accept more than 2 connections from the same IP address per hour?

I guess you will have to spoof the IP addresses or like you say, use an IP Pool.

I haven't programmed an IP pool myself before but someone is sending me a similar project they worked on. Hopefully when I have this, it will help you

Thanks JavaPF.

Well, today I'll have a a chance to talk with the DBA. I'm gonna try to explain him my needs. =D

This could be a much easier solution to your problem

Hello neomancer,

I have just been sent the IP Pool source.

This is what my friend said:

You start with a range of IP addresses and it lets you allocate from the range. Also lets you subnet ranges that you have allocated. The main class is called IPAddressManager and you can launch it from the command line. It is supposed to work as an Applet but it didn't work when I tried it. It might be that re-compiling will get the Applet to work.

I have not tested this myself either but I'm sure it will come in handy.
