I read the manpage for natd, and in fact am using it now, but still have a few questions, as follows: * Can someone better explain -deny_incoming. Without setting that option will natd just pass incoming request to the localhost? I'm a bit unclear on this issue. * Does anyone use the -log option? Is this purely for troubleshooting? I tried the -log option as an experiment, but didn't see any meaningful, for my purposes at least, data being generated. * Does anyone use -punch_fw, or do you just statically build your firewall rules? I'm not sure I see an advantage to -punch_fw unless it is simply for ease of firewall management. * Can I alter the natd running configuration without rebooting the machine? I tried killing the process once so that I coud reload and and the network on the test machine promptly went down from the remote end.
