I'm using IP masquerading via ipchains with a 2.2.16-22 kernel (Red Hat
7.0).  I know about the mods to the kernel, and they worked back when I was
using a 2.0 kernel.  When I upgraded to 2.2, I could never get the patch to
work.  I heard something about GRE and ESP being built-in to the 2.4 kernel,
but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
