Eh, the ipmasq package sets up routing and filtering for you. It
seems to me that many people think 'ipmasq' is the same type of
package as 'ipchains' (kernel 2.2 fw tools) or 'iptables' (kernel 2.4
fw tools); it's not. ipmasq is a collectionof scripts that autodetect
which interface is external, which is internal, what kernel you have,
and the rest happens automagically.
