Re: ip masquerade : which one?
iptable is kernel 2.4 specific tool.
ipchain is 2.2 specific tool but I hear it works with 2.4 kernel since
kernel 2.4 has compatibility mode or something.
So, iptables and ipchains are similar tool and you need to decide which
one to use.
ipmasq is a convienience package which automatically configures kernel
using either ipchains or iptables.
ipmasq in potato works only with ipchains.
ipmasq in pool (woody/sid,testing/unstable) has code for iptables.
Hope things are clear.
