Linux Firewall.

Hi list.

I just finished to read the Firewall-HOWTO.

I have few questions that it didn't answer (at least i didn't saw a clean answer).

1. Why i need to disable the IP_FORWARDING ?

2. How can i use REAL IP address (public) ?

3. What is the difference between Firewalling and IP Masquerading ?

(I know the difference in general, what i mean is that it actually does the same thing, securing my Network, or I'm mistaken ?)

Thanks Allot,

Mike
