I recently setup ipfw and natd on my freebsd box. I added the appropriate command line options to make natd forward 4 tcp ports on the external address to a box on the internal subnet. This appears to work, except that natd is rewriting the original source address such that connections to the internal box appear to come from my external IP address. Is this behavior normal for natd, or do I have something configured incorrectly? Previously, I was using a cisco 675 to do natd, and the source address was not modified during translation. I would much prefer that the source address not be modified, as this makes it impossible for the internal box to know who is connecting. Thanks for any help, mdr -- Matthew D. Rench
