I have a NATD daemon running on a FreeBSD 3.4/SecureBSD 1.0 box which I use to shell into via ssh.. This is on a cablemodem which has a dynamic IP. If you're familiar however the lease on the IP for DHCP is usually long enough that you seldom would lose the IP you're assigned so you could be semi dependant upon the box being available even if it lost connection or there was an outage at some point. Mostly it depends on your ISP's lease policy and if your system defaults to trying to grab the former IP are active. Now if you're not using a unix os to route internet traffic over your LAN then depending on the software, you should be able to affect firewall rules for port redirection from the natd box to a machine on the internal network. This also would apply to if you decided you wanted outside world traffic to not be allowed=20 a direct connection to your box running natd even if it was a unix OS. its all a matter of what your concerns are for security and what services you're expecting to have access to from the outside world. If the box is freebsd I'd advise taking a look at the ipfw man pages as it has some very good examples and I'm told that you could find some good examples at www.freebsddiary.org as well.
