SNAT

Hi,
While reading man page of iptables I stumbled in MASQUERADE section,

| This  target  is only valid in the nat table, in the POSTROUTING chain.
|  It should only be used with dynamically assigned  IP  (dialup)  connec-
|  tions: if you have a static IP address, you should use the SNAT target.

Can someone explain please why this is not valid when I am using a
permanent conneciton terminating at say eth0 and also a small example
on how SNAT can be used in the place?

Thanks a lot in advance.
With warm regards,
Payal
