IP chains can translate an IP (this would be called NAT or netwrok address
translation), this is one of the many uses of IP chains, as well as qos
and queing, etc. Without doing NAT your 192.168.1.x hosts would be able
to ping the 10.0.1.1 host becuase of IP forwarding on the linux firewall
(as long as its set to do forwarding, as explained in the earlier
message). But, to comminucate with any other host on the 10.0.1.x network
or hosts on networks outside of your network the firewalll will have to do
NAT or Masquerading to allow your inside hosts to communicate with the
outside world.
