Why does it have to be outside of the ip_masq code? From what i'm seeing it
seems to be in the masq code itself. That's the only way i would be able to
telnet and use lynx from the linux machine with the proper ip, and yet any
masq'd machines use the wrong ip. Or am i wrong? It seems like the routing
code and such would have to be correct, but that masq is choosing the wrong
external ip, or overriding what the routing code is saying, setting the
masq'd ip to the device ip instead of what the route table says, or i don't
know.
