Folks, I've been keeping myself busy over the past 3 weeks installing FreeBSD servers configured with NAT & ipfw to act as corporate gateways to the Internet. So far I've deployed 3 systems, with 4 more to do in the next month. My boss and the companies that we're doing this for are more than impressed with how well it is all working. However, I have one big beef with the current setup, and that is there is no easy way short of a reboot to get natd to re-read its configuration, as given by the -f option. This means that if I add a new forwarding rule, I have to reboot the box to get natd to use its new configuration. Does anyone know of a way to get natd to re-read it's configuration file, preferably without interrupting any sessions that are in progress? -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
