Exactly when was NAT added to linux? This is what happens to a linux user if he blinks!
Not sure, but I've been using it for 2 years. There are three at least flavors of NAT: Masquerading, reverse proxying, and one-one NAT. DCN
I suppose I'd heard of the IP Masquerading, but never looked into it to realize that it was address translation that they were referring to. Thanks everyone for the reply, and, for anyone's information, I found a pretty good howto with people's help, the "Dial-On-Demand" mini-howto. It covers on-demand dialup, as well as IP masquerading and more.

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is this : Taking one single IP address (say, from a dialup or a DSL connection)whichmay or may not be static, and fanning it out to a number of workstations (like 6 or so), and providing them as much freedom as possible to run different applications. I was hoping that between a www and ftp proxy,anda socks proxy, I'd have most applications covered, and then I'd use NATforany off-the-wall applications that may be running. Any ideas? Steven p.s. If it's free, that's better of course :)
