For the record, is there any discernable difference between NAT as
implemented by FreeBSD and IP Masquerading as implemented in Linux?

Is one more efficient or reliable than the other? And a related question:
what's the largest number of users that can reasonably use this service on
a single LAN?

My reasons for asking -- I need to implement one or the other soon,
potentially serving up to 100 users at a time seeking Internet access. I
don't have any strong preferences, so I'd be interested in hearing the
technical merits.

Thanks,

Gene
