Oh? I've ran my Linux box doing dhcp and masquerading without that.
But, oddly, this week after upgrading to a Super7 motherboard, dhcpd not
crashes after the my Win98 box requests an IP. I tried adding that, no
good. Anyone else had trouble with dhcp like this? At the moment of
the motherboard change, I was running 2.2.2. I've tried up to
2.2.3-ac2, and even older kernels I had lieing around. For some reason,
they all crash dhcpd now...
Anyway, back to your questing.

With masq, if you do something like "ipchains -A forward -s
192.168.2.0/24 -i ppp0 -j MASQ" that should keep the masq'ed connections
going out the ppp0 line.
