I would suggest that we want to take the entire segment and manage it separately, but I have no experience with creating user chains in the nat table, although this *might* work -- ymmv iptables -t nat -N masq_filter iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s x.x.x.x -d 10.10.10.0/24 -j masq_filter # the above line includes an assumption that MIGHT BE WRONG!!!! I dont know # what your netmask is!!!!!!!!! iptables -t nat -A masq_filter -d 10.10.10.5 -j RETURN iptables -t nat -A masq_filter -d 10.10.10.8 -j RETURN iptables -t nat -A masq_filter -j MASQUERADE filling in out the ips to NOT masquerade one at a time, perhaps with a loop as pascal suggests above, with appropriate modifications... -- Alistair Tonner nerdnet.ca Senior Systems Analyst - RSS Any sufficiently advanced technology will have the appearance of magic.
