I apologise for the length of that posting but James had already gone through it the
quick way and had failed. This was meant to be the belt-and-braces approach.

Which distro are you running? As far as I can tell, the SuSE 6.1 version I am running
has no problems with masquerading or firewalling with diald. Once I had diald working,
I installed firewalling and masquerading according to the instructions supplied with
the distribution and it all seemed to work 'out of the box'.
Especially, I've never had any problems with routing. It looks to me like diald and the
kernel manage to work it out between themselves.
What did you have to change in masquerading that was link-state dependent, and why?
Surely when the link is down masquerading is neither here nor there?
