I think that is effectively what those few lines of PF I posted do. Granted, it is probably a lot easier with PF. There is a server inside my LAN. I needed to access it by its outside address regardless of whether the client was inside or outside. And the excerpts I posted earlier work. It is actually just three things in addition to the standard gateway NAT: 1. The NAT for the LAN to the inside server 2. The redirect from the LAN to the inside server 3.
