If I have understood correctly, the way masquerading is working is that it uses a new port number (in the external interface) for each outgoing UDP packet. Am I right? However, I would need that port number to remain same with every packet coming from the same host in the internal network, that is, to create a UDP pipe connecting an internal host to a certain port in the external interface. This pipe should time out after certain time of silence. In addition, the internal IP-addresses are dynamically assigned and are actually changing quite frequently. I would like to ask whether there is some handy mechanism for doing this using masquerading and/or portforwarding? Or would some other tools be better? I would also greatly appreaciate if someone could give me some pointers about where to find general information about how masquerading has been implemented (besides source code) and how it's working. I've checked mailing list archives and ipmasq homepage, but they seem to concentrate on how to get different applications to work, not the philosophy behind it.
