I tried from my office using wsftp, twice, once in active mode
and once in passive mode, both result in the following error:

! Can't get "ftp://66.114.152.128/" host entry
! Connection failed ftp://66.114.152.128/

Is it okay to have all 3 of the above redirect lines? I changed
my natd.conf line for ftp to the first line above, and also added
the other two lines. Is that a problem?

It did exist, has two lines, but no error lines, so then I set the
permissions to 755, it still didn't get written to, then I changed
it to 777, still not getting written to.

Would that fill the syslog full of natd/firewall messages? Sometimes
there are tons of messages.
