NAT is the official name that the IETF uses to refer to the concept of network address translation. FreeBSD and everyone else refers to it as NAT, while natd is the daemon that performs the translation in FreeBSD. IP Masquerading is some silly term that the Linux people came up with to be different. Though I believe it works the same way as the rest of the free world's implementation. - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
