Hello all.
First, let me say that I am a complete newbie to FreeBSD.  Total use is
under 3 weeks. :)
I am trying to implement NAT on a fresh install of 4.1.1-RELEASE.  I used
the ISO to install.
My problem is this:
All the tutorials and documentation I can find say the command line should
be:
ipfw add 10 divert natd all from <subnet> to any via ex0
however, its reporting:

<snip>
00010 divert 8668 ip from any to any via ex0
ipfw: setsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Invalid argument
</snip>

I believe I have tracked this problem to how the ipfw kernel module was
compiled.  There is mention in the docs of adding divert support to the
kernel, but I believe its any of:
1) a setting in sysctl, but I cant find any mention of this

2) an option passed to ipfw when its kldloaded

3) a kernel module all its own

I really have tried to read all the docs, and a copious amount they are,
but I cant seem to find this (seemingly simple) answer.
Any help is appreciated!
