$ grep ident /etc/services
auth 113/tcp ident tap #Authentication Service
auth 113/udp ident tap #Authentication Service
Why can't you just tell natd to redirect all incoming connections (UDP
and TCP) on port 113 to a machine behind the firewall?
redirect_port tcp 192.168.1.2:113 113
redirect_port udp 192.168.1.2:113 113
