The -dynamic flag just makes it continue to work correctly if the IP of the interface it is working on chages. I think the natd(8) manpage is atypically lucid on this point, -dynamic If the -n or -interface option is used, natd will monitor the routing socket for alterations to the interface passed. If the interfaces IP number is changed, natd will dynamically alter its concept of the alias address. -- Crist J.
