Dave,

You need to add a static mapping from the #PPPP port on your firewall to
the #PPPP port on 10.0.0.10. Add '-redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.10:PPPP
PPPP' to the 'natd' command line, and open up your firewall with
something like:

    $fwcmd add pass tcp from any to ${oip} PPPP setup
    $fwcmd add pass tcp from any to 10.0.0.10 PPPP setup

Bye,
