Hmm,I am SSHing not to the gateway but to a server in the Internet, so shouldn't it masquerade the address and w show the gateway's IP and not the client's -- isn't this the whole point of the SNAT? No other service than SSH seems to work. If I do "telnet mydnsip 53" there is no response, it just hangs. I also have correct DNS in /etc/resolv.conf.
