hmmm. i wonder what this infomercial is all about. thanks for
reminding us how to use IP masq. hehehe. sorry but we are not
attracted to this solution at all. (this is the existing solution)
we are moving towards a firewalled/proxies/gated service setup.
the setup will mean that all clients will have to access proxies/gates
to get the services they need. this way we have better security and
maximize resource by using proxies/gates.
