You should specify more information about your setup, but generally you 
should be able to just insert a rule like "ipfw add xxx allow ip from 
mynet/mask to mynet/mask", where "xxx" is the rule-number BEFORE your 
natd redirection rule-number and mynet/mask describes your internal network.


I think I figured it out after a lot of searching.  It turns out that when I installed it I accidentally enabled USE_SOCKETS on a non-jailed dhcp server.  

The only information I found was a post or bug that said if you enable USE_SOCKETS on a non jailed server, you could have unexpected results.

The actual results are that your network traffic will be screwed up.
