Yes, the 192.?.?.? addresses are reserved for machines that are not supposed
to get to the internet. Use them so that if your masquerading is faulty then
they will not cause any problems as other hosts (should) ignore them.

I have masquerading set up on my linux box with three local networks
192.168.133.0	192.168.134.0	and 192.168.135.0.

Good luck with masquerading, it is a very useful tool.
