So I don't see that we can solve this easily. I for one masquerade outgoing multicast traffic sometimes. For me your hack would not make sense, I think. Maybe a different port allocation logic? I have tried to unify local ports+masquerade+ipautofw port usage in 2.0.x (I even had a hack that worked in most situations) but I'm still not sure how to do it correctly (without using a huge port table). Or maybe I should try with the huge all-port table... -- Meelis Roos (mroos@linux.ee) - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
