Linux supports a thing called "IP Masquerading." if the boxes without real
ip's use the linux machine as their gateway, the linux box can take the
connections and re-wrap them and send them off as if it came from the linux
box. i've used this for the past 3 months and its worked beautifully.
(irc, telnet, ftp, netscrape, lynx yadda yadda yadda all work great, its
just *server* stuff that requrires a port redirector.(redir-0.7)
the dox explain it better than i can.
dox for ip masqerading can be found at
