I was wondering if anyone has had any success getting Microsoft's
DirectPlay applications (DirectX DirectPlay, stuff like Age of Empires
or anything you can plan on the MSN Gaming zone) working with Linux.  I
have seen many solutions that involve setting up ipmasqadm
port-forwarding stuff but that only works for one machine, and I've
currently got about 6 behind my cablemodem. Does anyone know if someone
is developing a IP Masqing module (that's what I think it'll probably
need) or if there is a nice set of IPMasq rules that let you use this? 
(I should note that you can use the Chat Rooms just fine, but when
starting a game it times out because no game traffic makes it through).

The following ports have to be opened through the masqing box to make
this work: 8995-11000 and 28800-28900 .  On a normal firewall this is no
task, but how can I get this to work for ALL clients of a multi-client
Masqing network?
