As original author, I kind of miss the long command line options (ie. something like --daemon in addition to -d). The new code seems to use always a select-recvfrom combination to get the data. Someone complained to me about the old natd performance when that was used (the old code does not always use it). However, I must say that I'm not sure about how much it affects performance (having two syscalls instead of one).=20 =09Ari S.
