Yes. It is mks only.  I am currently using the following command in RHL6.2
My network id. is 192.168.2.0 so   I am using:

ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 192.168.2.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0

It is working fine for us to access Internet from all the system in our
Intranet.  I dont know whether there will be any security issues with this
command. Pl. check that also.

mks
