Private IP addresses are real IP addresses, too. Now, /imaginary/ IP
addresses, 90 degrees out of phase to other IP addresses - that'd be
q001e.
More info? Check out the RFCs, which are the canonical source of info.

Hmmm. Time to get up to date with IP issues generally. I reccomend the
TCP/IP Network Administration Guide by O'Reilly - you can find it here:

This is pretty well documented - have a look at:
http://ipmasq.cjb.net/
for lots of useful info.

It asks the kernel to turn on ip forwarding. The /proc filesystem is
your friend.
