The one situation I think is difficult for natd to handle is is when ppp is running in -auto mode, and it reconnects on each dial-in with a different dynamcially assigned address. At the moment, natd can do device address lookup at startup, but to handle the above mentioned case, it would have to do a device address lookup for every packet. Is it possible to do this? I personally like having both ppp -alias as well as natd. Having the software embedded in ppp and enabled with the -alias switch makes life very easy for a great number of less sophisticated users.
