Natd(8) implements generic IP aliasing, which could be used with any of the network interfaces installed (Ethernet, SLIP, PPP, TUN, etc). Your kernel should be compiled with IPFIREWALL and IPDIVERT options. You should then configure your ipfw(8) to redirect the traffic through divert(4) socket to a natd(8). User-level ppp(8) has this functionality natively. It uses libalias(3) to implement IP aliasing internally, without need to run natd(8) and ipfirewall(4). So, if you will run user-level ppp(8) (highly recommended), use its native IP aliasing feature. In any other case, use natd(8).
