I'm not sure which devices are where with respect to the masq box.
I do have one situation where PCs on the private network are
running a terminal session with an AS400 on the internet. The 400
wants to print something to the terminal -- I set the Linux system
to redirect the lpr port (525?) to the the system on the private
network where the printer is connected, and run the emulation's
printing software there. At the Linux system, I use the redir
program; I should upgrade this system and use the portfw
capabilities of the 2.2 kernel.
If this isn't the case, tell us more about how you're connected,
especially what's driving the printer (JetDirect, lpr, netbios, etc).
