	Yes, this is true as it will use the first entry in natd.conf for
	the translation.  The problem is, you are thinking of the
	translations backwards.  Are only 3 machines on the 10.136 segment
	talking to only 3 machines on the 192 segment?  Does communication
	have to go both ways, ie. do the 192.168 machines need to talk to
	10.136 machines?

	Also, you can run multiple copies of natd for the same interface
	(different port needed) and direct packets to the different natds
	based on the firewall rules applied:

  Firewall rules and Corresponding Natd #1( on port 8668):

# ipfw divert 8668 ip from 10.136.236.18/32 to 192.168.15.0/24 out via vx0
# ipfw divert 8668 ip from 192.168.15.0/24 to 192.168.15.47/32 in via vx0
# natd -p 8668 -n vx0 -redirect_address 10.136.236.18 192.168.15.47

  Firewall rules and Corresponding natd #2 (port 8669):

# ipfw divert 8669 ip from 10.136.236.18/32 to 192.168.28.0/24 out via vx0
# ipfw divert 8669 ip from 192.168.28.0/24 to 192.168.28.61/32 in via vx0
# natd -p 8669 -n vx0 -redirect_address 10.136.236.18 192.168.28.61
