As per another email I don't think that this is the problem here but it is
true that when masquerading is used the forwarding chain of ip chains is
bypassed so interestingly enough the following will allow masqueraded hosts
to communicate with the outside world and log any other packets that try
and go through the box..

ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.192.0/18 -j MASQ
ipchains -A forward -l

... in fact this email traveled through just that chain.
