Re: IP Spoofing/Masquarading

[Jack Carrozzo <jack () crepinc com>]

IP routing in a general sense doesn't care about source IP. As long as
it doesn't hit any filters across the way, it'll get to the
destination. However, if the system on the other end replies, the src
becomes dest and it will either end up in that system's RFC1918 space
or be filtered.
