It really is as simple as the natd/sample/natd.test script.  All natd 
is doing is looking at the interfaces IP number, and changing all 
outgoing stuff so that the source IP is its own.  The `changing' 
involves remembering the change so that packets coming back can be 
un-NAT'd.  You don't have to tell it what you want to translate as 
it's figured out based on the direction of the packet.
