This is getting to be a Very FAQ. David, is there anything on this in the
IP-MASQ HOWTO, like a pointer to Michael's patch, and perhaps an
explanation?
Currently, the internal machines can't access the portfw machines because of
the way the code is written. It won't re-masq de-masq'ed packets. Search
the archives for some posts by Michael Best (I hope I've got that right).
He has a hack/patch that allows this to work. It also fixes a few other
things, suck as allowing battle.net to have multiple players behind the same
machine. Check under starcraft or battle.net as subjects for at least a
pointer to the patch, if not the patch itself. (BTW, I never got it to work
copying from email, so maybe a pointer to a download would be better).
