masq-local.patch

[Stefan (metze) Metzmacher]

Hello,

why isn't local masquerading not implemented yet.
I looked at linux-2.4.17, there no local masquerading!
I hope it will be in linux-2.4.18!
Does anybody test it ???
I had absolutely NO PROBLEMS with LOCAL MASQUERADING!!!

Please test it and apply it!?!?

Hello!

I have a patch for masquerading local packets in the same way forwarded packets are masqueraded. I tested it for 5 or 6 month without problems.
