I was surfing the web after reading the help files that come with the kernel source and found this. Perhaps you might like to read it...

Linux IP NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATION
25 March, 1999: I just discovered that current linux kernels 2.2.3/2.2.4/2.2.5 point to this web site if you look at the help for Networking Options->Advanced Routing->Fast NAT. That is wrong. The code on this site is not part of the official kernel. The NAT that's part of 2.2.x-routing code is from Alexey Kuznetsov, , and the user level tools you need to use it are available on his ftp server in Russia ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/, mirrored (connection to Russia is very slow) at ftp://ftp.tux.org/people/alexey-kuznetsov/ip-routing/ and probably elsewhere (Documentation for this stuff: ftp://post.tepkom.ru/pub/vol2/Linux/docs/ and http://www.compendium.com.ar/policy-routing.txt). However, if you came here for general information about NAT this is the right website, see below. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
My 2.2.7 docs still have this recommendation which seems to be inappropriate... :-)
