Hi Nash,

I have included the natd man page. I hope it helps. I used to use natd but =
 have not in some time.=20

     This program provides a Network Address Translation facility for use w=
ith
     divert(4) sockets under FreeBSD.  It is intended for use with NICs - if
     you want to do NAT on a PPP link, use the -=08-n=08na=08at=08t switch =
to ppp(8).

     The n=08na=08at=08td=08d normally runs in the background as a daemon. =
 It is passed raw
     IP packets as they travel into and out of the machine, and will possib=
ly
     change these before re-injecting them back into the IP packet stream.

     It changes all packets destined for another host so that their source =
IP
     number is that of the current machine.  For each packet changed in this
     manner, an internal table entry is created to record this fact.  The
     source port number is also changed to indicate the table entry applying
     to the packet.  Packets that are received with a target IP of the curr=
ent
     host are checked against this internal table.  If an entry is found, it
     is used to determine the correct target IP number and port to place in
     the packet.

     The following command line options are available.

		 Allocate a socket(2) in order to establish an FTP data or IRC

     -=08-s=08sa=08am=08me=08e_=08_p=08po=08or=08rt=08ts=08s | -=08-m=08m
		 Try to keep the same port number when altering outgoing pack-
		 ets.  With this option, protocols such as RPC will have a
		 better chance of working.  If it is not possible to maintain
		 the port number, it will be silently changed as per normal.

     -=08-v=08ve=08er=08rb=08bo=08os=08se=08e | -=08-v=08v
		 Do not call daemon(3) on startup.  Instead, stay attached to
		 the controling terminal and display all packet alterations to
		 the standard output.  This option should only be used for de-
		 bugging purposes.

 _=08N_=08A_=08T. Normal-
		 ly static NAT is useful if your ISP has allocated a small
		 block of IP addresses to you, but it can even be used in the
		 case of single address:

		 Read from and write to _=08p_=08o_=08r_=08t, distinguishing packets as i=
ncom-
		 ing our outgoing using the rules specified in divert(4).  If
		 _=08p_=08o_=08r_=08t is not numeric, it is searched for in the services(=

		 database.  If this option is not specified, the divert port
		 named _=08n_=08a_=08t_=08d will be used as a default.

		 Set the target address.  When an incoming packet not associ-
		 ated with any pre-existing link arrives at the host machine,
		 it will be sent to the specified _=08a_=08d_=08d_=08r_=08e_=08s_=08s.

		 The target address may be set to _=082_=085_=085_=08._=082_=085_=085_=08=
._=082_=085_=085_=08._=082_=085_=085, in which

		 If this option is not used, or called with the argument
		 _=080_=08._=080_=08._=080_=08._=080, then all new incoming packets go to=
 the address
		 specified in the packet.  This allows external machines to
		 talk directly to internal machines if they can route packets
		 to the machine in question.

     -=08-i=08in=08nt=08te=08er=08rf=08fa=08ac=08ce=08e | -=08-n=08n _=08i_=

		 Use _=08i_=08n_=08t_=08e_=08r_=08f_=08a_=08c_=08e to determine the alias=
ing address.  If there is
		 a possibility that the IP number associated with _=08i_=08n_=08t_=08e_=
=08r_=08f_=08a_=08c_=08e
		 may change, the -=08-d=08dy=08yn=08na=08am=08mi=08ic=08c option should a=
lso be used.  If this
		 option is not specified, the -=08-a=08al=08li=08ia=08as=08s_=08_a=08ad=
=08dd=08dr=08re=08es=08ss=08s option must be
		 used.

		 The specified _=08i_=08n_=08t_=08e_=08r_=08f_=08a_=08c_=08e is usually t=
he public network inter-
		 face.

     -=08-c=08co=08on=08nf=08fi=08ig=08g | -=08-f=08f _=08f_=08i_=08l_=08e
		 Read configuration from _=08f_=08i_=08l_=08e. A _=08f_=08i_=08l_=08e sho=
uld contain a list of
		 options, one per line, in the same form as the long form of
		 the above command line options.  For example, the line

		       alias_address 158.152.17.1

		 would specify an alias address of 158.152.17.1.  Options that
		 do not take an argument are specified with an option of _=08y_=08e_=08s
		 or _=08n_=08o in the configuration file.  For example, the line

		       log yes

		 is synonymous with -=08-l=08lo=08og=08g.

		 Trailing spaces and empty lines are ignored.  A `#' sign will
		 mark the rest of the line as a comment.

     -=08-r=08re=08ev=08ve=08er=08rs=08se=08e	 This option makes n=08na=08a=
t=08td=08d reverse the way it handles incoming
		 and outgoing packets, allowing it to operate on the internal
		 interface rather than the external one.

		 This can be useful in some transparent proxying situations
		 when outgoing traffic is redirected to the local machine and
		 n=08na=08at=08td=08d is running on the internal interface (it usually ru=
ns on
		 the external interface).

     -=08-p=08pr=08ro=08ox=08xy=08y_=08_o=08on=08nl=08ly=08y
		 Force n=08na=08at=08td=08d to perform transparent proxying only.  Normal=
 ad-
		 dress translation is not performed.

		 Enable transparent proxying.  Outgoing TCP packets with the
		 given port going through this host to any other host are
		 redirected to the given server and port.  Optionally, the
		 original target address can be encoded into the packet.  Use
		 _=08e_=08n_=08c_=08o_=08d_=08e_=08__=08i_=08p_=08__=08h_=08d_=08r to put=
 this information into the IP option

=08t_=08r_=08e_=08a_=08m to inject the data into the begin-
		 ning of the TCP stream.

n_=08u_=08m_=08b_=08e_=08r:_=08c_=08o_=08u_=08n_=08t
		 This option directs n=08na=08at=08td=08d to ``punch holes'' in an ipfire-
		 wall(4) based firewall for FTP/IRC DCC connections.  This is
		 done dynamically by installing temporary firewall rules which
		 allow a particular connection (and only that connection) to
		 go through the firewall.  The rules are removed once the cor-
		 responding connection terminates.

		 A maximum of _=08c_=08o_=08u_=08n_=08t rules starting from the rule numb=
er
		 _=08b_=08a_=08s_=08e_=08n_=08u_=08m_=08b_=08e_=08r will be used for punc=
hing firewall holes.  The
		 range will be cleared for all rules on startup.

R=08RU=08UN=08NN=08NI=08IN=08NG=08G N=08NA=08AT=08TD=08D
     The following steps are necessary before attempting to run n=08na=08at=
=08td=08d:

     1.   Build a custom kernel with the following options:

		options IPFIREWALL
		options IPDIVERT

	  Refer to the handbook for detailed instructions on building a custom
	  kernel.

     2.   Ensure that your machine is acting as a gateway.  This can be done
	  by specifying the line

		gateway_enable=3DYES

	  in the _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_=08._=08c_=08o_=08n_=08f file=
 or using the command

		sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=3D1

     3.   If you use the -=08-i=08in=08nt=08te=08er=08rf=08fa=08ac=08ce=08e=
 option, make sure that your interface is
	  already configured.  If, for example, you wish to specify tun0 as
	  your _=08i_=08n_=08t_=08e_=08r_=08f_=08a_=08c_=08e, and you are using pp=
p(8) on that interface, you must
	  make sure that you start p=08pp=08pp=08p prior to starting n=08na=08at=
=08td=08d.

     Running n=08na=08at=08td=08d is fairly straight forward.  The line

	   natd -interface ed0

     should suffice in most cases (substituting the correct interface name).
     Please check rc.conf(5) on how to configure it to be started automatic=
al-
     ly during boot.  Once n=08na=08at=08td=08d is running, you must ensure=
 that traffic is
     diverted to n=08na=08at=08td=08d:

     1.   You will need to adjust the _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_=
=08._=08f_=08i_=08r_=08e_=08w_=08a_=08l_=08l script to taste.  If
	  you are not interested in having a firewall, the following lines
	  will do:

		/sbin/ipfw -f flush
		/sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any via ed0
		/sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any

	  The second line depends on your interface (change ed0 as appropri-
	  ate).

	  You should be aware of the fact that, with these firewall settings,
	  everyone on your local network can fake his source-address using
	  your host as gateway.  If there are other hosts on your local net-
	  work, you are strongly encouraged to create firewall rules that only
	  allow traffic to and from trusted hosts.

	  If you specify real firewall rules, it is best to specify line 2 at
	  the start of the script so that n=08na=08at=08td=08d sees all packets be=
fore they
	  are dropped by the firewall.

	  After translation by n=08na=08at=08td=08d, packets re-enter the firewall=
 at the rule
	  number following the rule number that caused the diversion (not the
	  next rule if there are several at the same number).

     2.   Enable your firewall by setting

		firewall_enable=3DYES

	  in _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_=08._=08c_=08o_=08n_=08f. This te=
lls the system startup scripts to run the
	  _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_=08._=08f_=08i_=08r_=08e_=08w_=08a_=
=08l_=08l script.  If you do not wish to reboot now, just run
	  this by hand from the console.  NEVER run this from a remote session
	  unless you put it into the background.  If you do, you will lock
	  yourself out after the flush takes place, and execution of
	  _=08/_=08e_=08t_=08c_=08/_=08r_=08c_=08._=08f_=08i_=08r_=08e_=08w_=08a_=
=08l_=08l will stop at this point - blocking all accesses
	  permanently.	Running the script in the background should be enough
	  to prevent this disaster.
