Yes NAT is possible on the RaQs. You can use teh scripts that were made
available on this list in April. (Search the archives.) The software that
allows NAT on the RaQ3s is called IPchains. You can look at the
IPCHAINS-HOWTO if you want to know how it works. Basically you will have a
Firewall *and* NAT if you decide to go forward.
