Hello all,

I use FreeBSD 2.2.X and ip divert options on the firewall,
tied with a program (natd) network address translator daemon ant it works
great

I use it on a ISP ant all my clientes use net 192.168.x.x All have full
internet access (telnet,ftp,www,rpc,irc...) the whole thing works great.

wihthout any linux code...

I am very satisfied with natd.
