There is a IP Filter package that includes IP Natural Address Translation that will run under FreeBSD. It's called "IPFilter" and it's home page is; http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/ip-filter.html There is a beta version of 3.1.1 out that fixes some FreeBSD problems (and others :) with 3.1.0. I'd recommend you grab the 3.1.1beta2 from; ftp://coombs.anu.edu.au/pub/net/firewall/ip-filter/ip_fil3.1.1beta2.tar.gz I'm running the beta1 as a LKM under FreeBSD 2.1.5R. It allows me to do most things from my host network although I also have sockd and SquidCache installed on the gateway and use them for FTP and HTTP (Recommended).
