Update - I have MOL (latest rsync) running under the bitkeeper tree
(2.4.5-pre5) with an AirPort card and Ethertap interface - no slow downs
that I can see.
Instead of ipchains, I used iptables - the following line worked for me:
*iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE*
I made sure that IP forwarding was enabled by the following:
*echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward**
**echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr**
*
And that's about it - everything else was identical to my previous
message, from what I can tell. The site
http://interactive8.webprojkt.com/ came up in about 4.632 seconds,
according to Moz-0.9.1
Now that I have a setup similar to yours, let's try to figure out what's
going wrong with yours!
Respectfully,
Brice Ruth
