OK. If that's the case, then the --mac-source target would
only work on a LAN, not over the ethernet. This would mean
thatthe --mac-sourse target has very limited use - only on
local LANs.
But there is still a place for a MAC address. How can I put
one in the packet on the client side? This would allow me to
use it over the internet.
