This is what I was thinking, but was not sure of, thanks for the
clarification. Here's another question: If I use udpredir to solve the
problem, will the masq-ing process chose the port that I have redirected as
a source port? If it uses only ports above 61000, there would be no problem
with redirecting 4901, behind the masq's back, so to speak?
