Hi John,

a while back I posted a similar question, here are the answers:

Then you want to use something called natd - it hasn't been integrated
with FreeBSD yet, but it's available as an add-on from various FTP
sites.  Do a net search for it.

        The sources for natd are at
        ftp://kn6-045.ktvlpr.inet.fi/pub/natd.

        It works with FreeBSD 2.2 only, not with older versions.

                Ari S.                      

If there isn't an entry on this subject in the newer FAQ's I would
recommend to add one.
In addition to tht the natd-package ought to become part of the basic
TCP/IP package of
FreeBSD.

Best regards,

Carsten
