English Dictionary: masquerading by the DICT Development Group
2 results for masquerading
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Masquerade \Mas`quer*ade"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Masqueraded};
      p. pr. & vb. n. {Masquerading}.]
      1. To assemble in masks; to take part in a masquerade.
  
      2. To frolic or disport in disquise; to make a pretentious
            show of being what one is not.
  
                     A freak took an ass in the head, and he goes into
                     the woods, masquerading up and down in a lion's
                     skin.                                                --L'Estrange.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   masquerading
  
      1. "{NAT}" ({Linux} {kernel} name).
  
      2. Hiding the names of internal e-mail {client}
      and {gateway} machines from the outside world by rewriting the
      "From" address and other {headers} as the message leaves the
      organisation.
  
      This is good practise because external users do not need to
      know about internal changes in message routing.   The external
      mail gateway needs to know how to route incoming replies back
      to the original sender.
