Hmmm.... that didn't work for me -- at least not on 1.6.2_STABLE.

The connections where put into the NAT table and everything appeared to
be working OK, but MSS clamping just didn't happen at all.  My FTP puts
and gets were still flowing with full-sized packets (I tried clamping
down to 512 bytes, IIRC).

I can retry this experiment again any time if anyone has any clues to
help with further debugging.
