I still have one Dachstein firewall kicking around.  There were specific
modules (helpers) to get around some of the more complicated stuff that
ipchains didn't handle.  These modules went by the name:

ip_masq_xxxxx

These were a bunch of these.  They are like the ip_contrack modules for
iptables.

Some of them were:

ip_masq_ftp
ip_masq_quake
ip_masq_h323

If you look in /etc/modules you will see a list of them near the
bottom.  I have no idea if any of these pertain to your application, or
if there is one for your app that could be compiled for Dachstein.  It
is a direction to look though! ;-)

Good luck,

Sean
