Linux 2.2 ip masquerading uses (at least by default) ports above 60,000 (I
don't remember the exact number right now). Any traffic you masquerade will
have it's source port changed to the high numbers.
If the amanda client that you are backing up is *just* outside the firewall
then you could forward, rather than masquerade, the traffic. You'd just have
to add a route to the private network on the client ... telling it to use the
firewall as the gateway for reaching the private network.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried it.
