I'm not quite following you, I'm afraid, but I'll try...
I understand that your setup is something like this:
+---------+ +---------+
Internet Feed | FreeBSD | 172.16.x.x | MacOS |
---------------+ +---------------+ |
| | | |
+---------+ +---------+
And you want the Mac to give its services (www & ftp) to the outside on a
knwon address. This means, of course, that you have to have a formal
address that will be used to access those servers.
The simplest thing would then be to run a proxy on the FreeBSD machine
configured to pass all requests to the MacOS servers, and using the
"official" address for the FreeBSD machine as the "well known" address
for your server. There are many www proxies aroung, and the TIS fwtk has
a ftp proxy. If your setup requires an IP alias on the FreeBSD machine,
the following works for both 2.1.0 and 2.1.5:
ifconfig de1 inet 192.116.93.18 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
