I've found an undocumented feature in 2.2.0p1 IPmasqing. In the 2.0 series of kernels, when you had a masq network and wanted to use Blizzard's BattleNet servers for Starcraft internet play, you had to use ipautofw to forward port 6112 tcp/udp to battle.net. Under 2.2.0p1, not only do you not have to do this anymore, but if you DO specify autofw (using the new ipmasqadm and autofw module) with those ports, communication with battle.net is broken.. When you do nothing, game play is fine.
