Linux IP NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION
25 March, 1999: I just discovered that current linux kernels
2.2.3/2.2.4/2.2.5 point to this web site if you look at the help for
Networking Options->Advanced Routing->Fast NAT. That is wrong. The
code on this site is not part of the official kernel. The NAT that's
part of 2.2.x-routing code is from Alexey Kuznetsov, , and the user
level tools you need to use it are available on his ftp server in
Russia ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/, mirrored (connection to Russia is very
slow) at ftp://ftp.tux.org/people/alexey-kuznetsov/ip-routing/ and
probably elsewhere (Documentation for this stuff:
ftp://post.tepkom.ru/pub/vol2/Linux/docs/ and
http://www.compendium.com.ar/policy-routing.txt). However, if you came
here for general information about NAT this is the right website, see
below.

My 2.2.7 docs still have this recommendation which seems to be
inappropriate... :-)
