This isn't really a problem except that I have a few other machines that I run behind a FreeBSD firewall and nat. Will natd properly handle the dhcp assigned addresses (possibly more than one address on the Interface), and will it react properly to lease expiries? The -n and -dynamic options to natd lead me to believe it will, but I would like someone to give me a warm fuzzy feeling before I take down my existing network connection. One other concern is that I have two applications running behind nat that are udp based. In that past I have hard coded the configs, but how will this work with dynamic addresses? Does anyone have any comments, or example configs that they could offer. Thanks in advance.
