Have you actually tried it? I don't think a host route for 255.255.255.255
will cause any problems at all for IP masquerading... actually, I *know* it
doesn't because I use exactly that setup here (well, except I have a 2.0.34
kernel, but I doubt that would make any difference in this situation).
Following is a snippet of my route table...
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
255.255.255.255 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 U 0 0 631 eth0
139.130.64.193 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
10.10.10.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 20667 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 1889 lo
0.0.0.0 139.130.64.193 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 5764 ppp0
Odd thing is, the 255.255.255.255 address looks like a net route instead of
a host route *shrug* maybe I didn't enter the route correctly, but
everything works just fine. (including masquerading)
