The FreeBSD box should run a single PPPoE session to your provider 
over the ADSL link.  If your provider will route more than one IP to 
you then you can simply run ppp(oE) without the NAT switch and it'll 
just work.  Use the same IP on the FreeBSD box's internal network 
interface as you're using on the local end of the ADSL PPPoE session.
