I would use /32 since you are talking an exact IP address.  After
rereading your thread earlier, as i understood it, 192.168.1.1 is your
LAN NIC.  This would not need the rule, as it would not send packets out
that interface to go to the internet, it would go out (IIUC 192.168.0.x)
NIC and would be routed by the adsl router.  192.168.0.x (not sure what
IP it is) should also be the gateway.  So, IIUC, you would only need
192.168.1.2/32 in FW_MASQ_NETS.  BTW, I am not sure /24 would work.  I'm
sure others will correct or verify that.

Yesterday I just upgraded our office server.  I have used SuSEfirewall2
since 6.4, and have learned it is really quite a powerful firewall, but
most of my FW_MASQ_NETS also include the destination address, protocol,
and port.  It is much more complicated than you seek.  I also redirect
the LAN through dansguardian (filter) and squid set up as a transparent
proxy.  I did not do extensive testing, but what I did said
SuSEfirewall2 was work as it had in 10.2.  I basically copied and pasted
most of the rules I had from my 10.2 /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.  One
change I noted, beside the return of eth0 type IF names, is the
FW_MASQ_DEV.  It used to be something like $FW_DEV_EXT, now it is
zone:ext.  Since mine seemed to work, I would suggest checking the
subnet mask (i.e /32 for a single IP) and make sure your FW_MASQ_DEV is
set correctly.  Otherwise, perhaps try iptables -L to double check.  HTH.
