Are you asking about the difference between MASQUERADE and SNAT ? If so, the answer's not a lot, except: 1. MASQUERADE checks the address of the interface for each packet it translates, therefore it's better for interfaces with dynamic addresses. 2. MASQUERADE checks the address of the interface for each packet it translates, therefore it's slightly less efficient for interfaces with static addresses. Antony.
