no support for `ip_masquerade' on this system

[Bill Moseley <moseley@hank.org>]

I'm confused by this error from netstat -M.  I'm indeed using MASQUERADE on
this box -- it is working.

Yes, this /proc "file" is missing:

$ ls /proc/net/ip_masquerade
ls: /proc/net/ip_masquerade: No such file or directory

I built as a module:

$ fgrep MASQ /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE=m

I'm not sure what module that builds.  I don't see it in lsmod, though (but
it *is* masquerading right this second).
