IP Tables NAT of Windows Login?

[ian@linux-sxs.org]

Hi all,

We have an newly developed(developing) engineering network with 10. addresses 
in order to comply with customer requirements to link back with them.  Can't 
change that.

We have an existing corporate intranet based netowrk w/ 172.17. addresses, 
again can't be changed, out of our control.

Is there a way to use IPTables to NAT the connection between these two and 
allow 10. addressed windows hosts to authenticate on the 172.17. based Windows 
servers? 

Getting regular NAT functioning was a snap, first time IPtables user and I read 
for 10 minutes and worked for 5 and instant gratification.

The trouble is, the windows authentication apparently *needs* UDP which isn't 
handled at all in the NAT sense by what I currently have implimented.  Maybe 
I've missed it in my searches, but I've found neither a case of someone saying 
it can be done nor can't be done.

A 24 of e-beer for anyone that can put an end to this search in a happy way.

Fingers crossed, clicking send...
