Hi. The thing is that I had a prefectly working IPmasq setup, with rules changed in ip-up and ip-down. I just wanted to give a try of ipmasq _package_. And configuration script does _not_ take into account the possibility of external interface with dynamic IP. OK, if this package is not for people with dial-up then description should mention that and at least postinst should finally ask whether to activate the rules based on the entered IPs.
