I don't know what routed(8) has to do with any of this. I _think_ you are having a DNS problem. The name 'serenity.neosphere.yi.org' is not valid. But even if this address did work, I do not see what you are trying to do since, like you say, you have only one IP address. So wouldn't serenity.neosphere.yi.org have to point at neosphere.yi.org (208.180.57.251)? I think you should be looking at 'redirct_port' on the natd(8) manpage. -- Crist J.
