Hmm, I've just seen FAQ 26 in the HOWTO ("Can IP Masquerade work with only
ONE Ethernet network card?"). My server only has one network card
(essentially, as it is only connected to one network, it's just that it has
privileges that other machines on that network don't have). SO I guess that
answers my question, IP Masquerade isn't really what I'm after.
So I guess I have a different question - what *is* the appropriate way of
setting up a generic proxying service where I can route traffic from general
clients through the proxy, to route it out onto the LAN again looking as if
it originated from the proxy? (Reading this description, it sounds as if I'm
trying to set up some sort of spoofing hack - I'm not, really - it's legit!)
Thanks,
Paul.
