Yes, that's correct.

The way that the DHCP server hands out IP addresses, it's "mostly constant".
So, it's "safe" and if it stops working, I can easily change it, but I've
had this IP address for over 2 years without change.
Thanks, I know that only one machine can be forwarded. My wife doesn't get
to play ;-)

They've changed it for DX8, there's no TCP ports. I wonder if that
makes any difference.
The question is, do you have a similar ipchains setup, and if so,
do you perform any additional magic to make the 'portfw' "work" in
concert with the MASQ ?
Does ipmasqadm work with ipchains, or does ipchains get "first dibs"
on the packets and you have to manually let them through ?

Excellent, that stops me from manually changing the shell script ;-)
