Even better, with iproute2 (easily added to iptables) - you can do all kinds of funky stuff with the correct kernel - traffic policing, queueing, prioritization etc... Make masquerading "real" cool, as you can restrict FTP traffic to half your available bandwidth, and all kinds of other cool stuff.

The other gotcha is that masquerading doesn't seem to be there yet for 2.4.* Not a biggie for me, YMMV
Yes it is! Check out netfilter/iptables. I have a firewall on a 2.4.3 kernel, running iptables and masquerading for a LAN as I type!
