I am thinking about throwing NetBSD on my Pmax and using it as an
Internet firewall for a LAN. I'd like to use IP masquerading to make
network access as transparent as possible. Is it supported under
NetBSD?
(I think "IP masquerading" is the right term. That's where the gateway
repackages packets to make it seem as if the LAN computers are directly
on the net, right?)
