You might like to have a look at the "midentd" program. It's an "identd
replacement with masquerading support", which, iirc forwards identd
requests on to other hosts with the port numbers corrected. Presume
it'll fit onna floppy (the .deb's 8290 bytes unpacked, or some such).

I'd also be a little bit suspicious of the masquerading timeouts. Use
"netstat -M" on the firewall to watch your masqueraded connections, btw.

I don't speak for anyone save myself. PGP encrypted mail preferred.
