This is why the ipmasqadm autofw solution using port forwarding is much
easier - this is the "offically supported" method for NAT/Proxy tunnelling.
I do use some masq modules too [mainly for FTP and IRC+DCC], I just find its
less painful if I can avoid them and use a simpler solution for the problem.
autofw is a much simpler solution in this case IMO.
