Hi,

The configuration of my Linux box is following..
I have 1 Wan port and 8 SDSL interfaces. SDSL if#i 
is attached to local(lan ) private subnet 192.168.i.X/24 
through a bridge. e.g the SDSL interface 2 is assigned the 
private IP address 192.168.2.1 whereas any m/c connected 
to this subnet will have an IP address 192.168.2.x( x != 1, != 255 ).

Now each SDSL interface  will be assigned a public IP 
address too so that this public address will be used
as the source address for any packet originating from
a m/c connected to that particular SDSL interface.

My box looks like following


            __________  SDSL if 1
           |          | (192.168.1.1)    LAN #1
           |          |-----  Bridge -------------
           |          |                |  |   | 192.168.1.X
           |          |SDSL if i
           |          |192.168.i.1       LAN #i
    -------|          |------ Bridge -------------
           |          |                |  |  |   |
           |          |
           |          | SDSL if 8
           |          |192.168.8.1      LAN #8
           |          |------ Bridge --------------
            ----------                |   |   | 192.168.8.X

 After going through the masuerading code, it seems to me 
that I can't use it straightaway..I may need to hack it.
But the problem is a public IP address and a private IP
address assigned to the same interface. Do you have any idea 
whether I need to use IP aliasing? Or is there any other
trick which I'm missing out.

If somebody knows the answer, I would be very highly oblighed
if I get a reply ASAP.

Thanx,
