Unfortunately, this won't work since there is no way to fix it on all
remote machines -- that is, remote servers on the Internet, since
presumably it is desirable for the masqueraded machines to be able to
view Internet websites and the like.  The method you describe is used
if one wants a private network blocked from the Internet but
accessible from internal machines.
