Hmmm Ok, I will set this to the IP.. now the other thing I noticed was
that in the 3.3 rc.network that the command looked for natd_program it did
not have the natd_program: /sbin/natd.. so I added a natd_program to the
rc.conf that is set to the /sbin/natd.
I am still perplexed as to why the I cannot reach the box from itself via
the 172.16.0.1 alias... I have used ifconfig aliasing before and never had
a problem... the ifconfig command runs fine and throws no errors, but I
cannot reach it from itself... very odd to me.
