-j MASQUERADE

Fri, 03 May 2002 08:00:32 -0700

i've set my NAT up and everything is working good.
 
i was adviced by a friend (quite experienced with linux) to
use the -j MASQUERADE command. but the howto
says i should use SNAT instead if i have a static ip.
 
i write the following command to get my NAT to work:
 
"iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.255 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE"
 
I would like to what the -j MASQUERADE does if i have a static ip, can something go wrong?
Please make me smarter! :-)
 
Regards
Markus
