as usual, a bit more of information would be of
great help here ... but I'm used to "help! it does
not work! how can I fix it?" mails by now ...
if you assign private addresses to your guests, then
you are probably missing a proper SNAT rule to reach
the outside ...
(e.g. let's assume your guests have 192.168.0.x)
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to 1.2.3.4
(where 1.2.3.4 is your one and only public ip)
if you, OTOH, have more than one gateway (i.e. your
guests have public IPs, but are in a different subnet
with their own 'local' gateway), then you want to
look into the following:

well, if you gateway is in a non local subnet, you
will have some trouble to reach it, so the assumption
is fine, no?

what? the local gateway?
