Get SOCKS. SOCKS will do the IP forwarding for you. I'm using SOCKS to
forward packets from two other sites (one running Windows 3.1, the other
running OS/2) through a linux box that has a static IP.

No, you don't need three static IP's. The person who posted that doesn't
know what they are talking about - and I am horrified to note that this
person runs an ISP!

"Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families, through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a waiting soul. Patient, permanent, abundant, it opens its infinite heart and asks only one thing of you ... 'Remember who it is you really are.'"
