Get kernel 2.1.66, and read the documentation on routing. Basically,
the new routing stuff in 2.1 allows you to route based on source
address as well as destination, so you can sent reply packets back out
the same interface the request came in on.

I've got it running on my gateway machine for this exact reason.
