I'm creating a gateway that has dynamic addresses for most of the internal machines. I'm using masquerading successfully but my question is this...i have some machines for which I want to use static internal addresses...do i need to setup an snat rule for these machines or is masquerading adequate? A brief sentence in a how-to made me think maybe masquerading wasn't the right way to go for these machines...but i'm not sure. Thanks in advance. Dennis
