Linux SNAT with per-connection source address from IP pool

When doing NAT with pool of addresses to choose from (instead of masquerading) Linux insists on always using same IP from pool for particular source IP. Often this is preferred, but not always. To workaround we need to patch kernel a bit.

Updating Ubuntu 12.04 LTS kernel to 3.15.8 with latest ddbridge DVB drivers

Adding aufs support to Ubuntu LTS 14.04 with 3.16-rc5 kernel

Adding aufs support to 3.16-rc5 is little different than what is was for older kernels. Below works for Ubuntu LTS 14.04.

Ubuntu and broken or missing aufs with default kernels

Aufs included in Ubuntu kernels is broken, what a surprise. In addition it has been dropped from newer kernels with claims that overlayfs does exactly same thing. It doesn't and everyone knows it except that one developer who decided it does and can't admit he made mistake. It seems aufs (and overlayfs) in Ubuntu is not really supposed to be used but only be part of install process. If so you guys shouldn't include it outside installer.. WontFix you too.
