How does ip masquerading work (overview)?

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

Why do you want the outside world to connect to the 100M board? If you 
are connected to a cable modem, you are limited to 10M or below 
depending on the service. However, if you are at Mount Ida, then this is a 
bit different. In any case I assume that you are doing this on Red Hat, 
which has a different interface to IP Masq.
