I'm attempting to set up IP Masquerading for my intranet, but have
noticed that the documentation I read seems to assume a static IP
address.

1) I don't have a static IP.  Does that actually impact my configuration?

2) My LAN is segmented by a switch instead of a hub.  Is that going
   to cause a problem?

3) Conceptually, I'm having problems with the idea of setting the linux
   server as the gateway for all LAN machines which are taking advantage
   of IP Masq.  Do I need to set up some routing rules for packets which
   are actually being sent to other machines on the LAN, as opposed to
   the ones destined for the internet?  How are these routing rules
   affected by the fact that I have a dynamic IP on the internet side?

Any guidance is appreciated.  I'm sure glad to see that the first two
messages I get from the list are people declaring they've solved whatever
problems they had. :)
