Hi!

I'm trying to make my mySQL-server (running on Ubuntu) listen on port 3306 and 110, because I would like to access it from a network with very few open ports.

So far I've found this answer telling me to do

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 110 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3306

but all I got is:

# mysql -h mydomain.com -P 3306 -u username --password=xyz
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 68863
Server version: 5.0.75-0ubuntu10.5 (Ubuntu)

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> exit
Bye

# mysql -h mydomain.com -P 110 -u username --password=xyz
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on 'mydomain.com' (111)

I'm not an expert with iptables, so I not sure where to look for the problem. I'm googling around for quite some time, but haven't found anything to help me yet.

This is what iptable tells me:
