IPMASQ is only legal for the forward and user defined 
chains, and can only be used when the kernel is compiled
with CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE defined.  With this, packets 
will be masqueraded as if they originated from the local
host. Furthermore,  reverse  packets will be recognized 
as such and they will be demasqueraded automatically,
bypassing the forwarding chain."

As you can see by the descriptions, IPMASQ is a feature 
of IPCHAINS. One would generally use IPMASQ to do Network 
Address Translation (NAT) for a network behind a gateway 
or firewall. For example, I have my Linux server doing 
NAT via IPMASQ for my home network.
