[ale] IP Masquerading Question

[Vaidhy Mayilrangam]

IPMasq does not spoof.. but it will fit your purpose.. The firewall/gateway rewrites the address
on the tcp packet to make it look like it is coming from the gateway.. then it rewrites the
address on the return packet..

I've looked over some of the docs for IP Masquerading, but have not been able to confirm/deny this.  It is probably right under my nose....
