Masquerading translates multiple IPs to a single IP. Generalised NAT
translates multiple IPs to multiple IPs.
If you have multiple IP addresses, but with more hosts than addresses,
you could use NAT to give each host an internal IP address, plus give
selected hosts valid IP addresses.
If you only have a single IP address, there isn't much point in
anything beyond simple IP masquerading.
