Re: Is ipmasq worth it?

a long time ago I used to use ipmasq.  A few months ago I started using 
iptables after upgrading to a 2.4 kernel.  iptables has the advantage of 
having everything in one place, and can both share & protect your computing 
resources.  I would recommend going with iptables.  before I started 
iptables looked impossible.  I found that it is not that hard once you RTFM.
