Re: Proxy and Masquarade info.?

A proxy actually accepts the packet from the client, looks at it, then requesting the information directly from the server. After it gets the response from the remote server, it sends it back to the client. In this situation, the client is aware they're being proxied (unless you transparently proxy them, but that's a different issue).

Masquerading is the same thing as a NAT. You have 1 public IP address that can be used by many private IPs on your network. Think of it as just a layer 3 proxy... the client doesn't even have to be aware it's going through a NAT. We have a few hundred machines behind a single public IP address here (day job, not my WISP). It works well most of the time.
