You are correct to be concerned, as FTP is not the only protocol which
embeds internal IP information into the data stream. This is the reason
why those protocols break down when masq enters the picture.
However, in this particular case, the ip_masq_ftp protocol module is
changing the PORT command in mid-stream, so that your internal IP is
changed to the IP of the external interface of your masq server. The
remote ftp server never sees your internal IP.
