A packet diverted to natd(8) is dropped by a later rule in the
firewall.

Write packets that get dropped later in the firewall.

Change syslog.conf(5) accordingly or rearrange your firewall rules so
that the offending packets are dropped _before_ they go through
natd(8).
Use the -v option of natd(8) and the 'log' ipfw(8) rule entry to
figure out what kind of traffic is making the problems. There have
also been some flame wa^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hdebates about making changes to
natd(8) to change this logging behavior.
