I have setup a mailing list with the specific topic of the IP_MASQUERADE
function being developed in the new 1.3.n kernel. This will be a low
volume list primarily for those of us (myself included) who are
interested in techniques for application and installation of this bold
new function.
If you are a Linux operator working with (or trying to) the new IP_
MASQUERADE, feel free to join in what will become a source for news,
tips, and help.

Definition: IP_MASQUERADE is a new kernel function that allows a Linux
box to serve as an invisible proxy server for ANY type of IP connection.
As of the 1.3.9 kernel it appears to not function properly. It requires
that you have sufficient knowledge of Linux to be able to compile and
install an ALPHA (aka: untested development) kernel. If your machine
MUST be stable and reliable, this is not a good idea.
