that IP-Masquerade-HOWTO is pretty old if i recall ... i'd suggest using
iptables .. but that's just because it's a big step over ipchains ..
however, if you're just going to setup a simple gateway, ipchains would be
more than sufficient and that HOWTO would suffice. it's actually quite
easy with the HOWTO, so don't be afraid! :)
