I suppose another factor might be performance. If a machine behind the
masq firewall wants to send or receive a lot of data from the internet,
that traffic will appear on your local LAN twice. Once when it goes
between the masq box and the cable modem, and again when it travels
(demasqueraded) from the masq box to the target machine. High collision
rates could result.
