Masquerading != NAT (it is a little brother to the more general NAT)
NAT can do many-to-many address translation.
Masquerading can only do one-to-many address translation.
(i.e. hiding a private subnet behind a masquerading firewall makes the
whole subnet appear to the internet as if there is only one machine
using lots of high ports).
