A new issue has been raised (yesterday) that might be relevant.
Th IP Masq code does not treat (or ignore) IP options correctly. This
could cause problems to certain machines.
It would be really useful if people could identify the machine type on the
far end of non-working links. If it is a very modern BSD (NetBSD, FreeBSD
or BSDI) box or possibly a very recent linux (2.1.8x or above) then we may
have found systems that are playing with IP options.
If this is the case please let me know. We are looking at the problem and
working out how to attack it. However I don't have any test cases at
present.
Nigel.
