The first port number is the port the masqueraded box things it is using.
The second number, the one in brackets, is the port number that the
masquerading box has mapped the connection to.

So if we do 'netstat -n' on 192.168.0.2 the connections might look like:
tcp     0     0 192.168.0.2:3276        167.216.237.108:80 ESTABLISHED
udp     0     0 192.168.0.2:3241        203.22.70.2:53     ESTABLISHED

But to the remote hosts, if we pretend your external IP is 1.2.3.4, the
connections might look like:

tcp     0     0 167.216.237.108:80      1.2.3.4:63030      ESTABLISHED

... and ...

udp     0     0 203.22.70.2:53          1.2.3.4:62990      ESTABLISHED
