Not that it is the fix for your problem,
But since you are using ppp, why not let
it do the IP masquerading for you.

Use "alias enable yes" in the default
section of your ppp.conf file.  You won't
need to use natd then.

It seemed like the easier way to do the
same thing.  Works fine for us.

Subject: 	strange things

	I installed FreeBSD 3.1 serving as a gateway for our private network 
(ethernet - ed0) to Inet(ppp0). Last 2-3 days I found strange behavior of that 
host. I can establish connection to any host I want to, even from local 
network to Inet. When system boots, everything is ok, but after several hours 
no one from Inet cannot connect to me if they want to create the connection. 
I've use natd to transport local IP to the Inet dealing convertion using modem 
IP. Here is my ipfw rules:
00100 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00100 divert ip from any to any via ppp0
00200 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
65000 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any

I can't understand whats up! It's funny that several hours everything is 
ok.....
