It should only be used with dynamically assigned IP (dialup) +connections: if you have a static IP address, you should use the SNAT +target. Masquerading is equivalent to specifying a mapping to the IP +address of the interface the packet is going out, but also has the +effect that connections are +.I forgotten +when the interface goes down.
