Re: ip masquerade : which one?
Hi,
As a few respondents have said, ipmasq is a package of scripts that uses
whatever kernel firewalling support utility you have (2.0.x ipfwadm, 2.2.x
ipchains, 2.4.x iptables) to configure your firewall rules, according to a
set of rule scripts (in /etc/ipmasq/rules/).
ipmasq is the go. ipmasq is cool. ipmasq rocks your world.
Just setup your internet access on the gateway machine, then when it's all
working, apt-get install ipmasq - and you'll have ipmasquerading for all
your local networks. No configuration required.
Well, it blew me away anyway.

(And if you want to add any custom firewall rules, just add your own script
to /etc/ipmasq/rules/).
