    Trying to do it yourself...  ;)

ipmasq - Initializes IP Masquerade firewalling/forwarding

This package contains scripts to initialize IP Masquerade, a feature of
Linux that allows an entire network of computers to be connected to another
network (usually the Internet) with only one network address on the other
network.  IP Masquerade is often referred to as NAT (Network Address
Translation) on other platforms.

The package by default configures the system for a basic forwarding
firewall, with IP spoofing and stuffed routing protection.  However, ipmasq
now features a very flexible framework whereby you can override any of the
predefined rules if you so choose.  It also allows you to control if the
rules are reinterpreted when pppd brings a link up or down.

IP Masquerade requires the kernel to be compiled with CONFIG_FIREWALL,
CONFIG_IP_FIREWALL, CONFIG_IP_FORWARD, and CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE.
