You can also run ipnat (or natd) to do the nat and do the redirection from there. On this subject, does anyone have a definite answer about whether it is allowed to redirect a range of port in ipnat? Right now I have 100 redirection rules, one for each port (the Daemon burns those stupid Microsoft protocols). If not, where can I find a comparison of ipfw vs ipfilter? I have used ipfilter up till now but would change if the features are similar and redirecting a port range does not work in ipnat. -- Chive.
