I'd like to put together an address-translating router for remote office
use that would provide some firewall protection and only need one
'real' IP address for the site.  Would the Linux ip_masquerade approach
be better than freebsd + proxies or does freebsd have an address translating
option too?  I'd also like to be able to support whatever LAN happens
to be in place at the remote office.  Is there a token ring driver
for freebsd yet?
