As I understand it, it may be necessary to set the route to this network *only* on the LAN's _current_ default gateway. eg. If each machine has a default route of 192.168.1.254 (the internet router) and your linux masq box is on 192.168.1.250, instead of creating a route entry for each machine in your network, just create a route entry on 192.168.1.254 pointing to 192.168.1.250 as the route to the clinet's LAN. Though, now that I think further, that will route the masqued traffic back to the linux box repeatedly won't it?
