OK, this is what I thought too, until I realized that ipnat and natd are completely different things (I said I was new to this stuff :). The natd configuration was very straightforward, and is well documented on the FreeBSD web site, but I saw nothing about ipnat. This led me to think this (natd) was the "recommended" tool for implementing NAT on FreeBSD these days, and that I should concentrate my efforts on using/supporting it. Is that not the case? (And does ipnat work well with jails?) For what it's worth, I think implementing support for either system will be relatively similar in terms of coding effort. -- Bjarni R.
