This is my current ipnat.conf file. map vx0 192.168.1.0/24 -> 0/32 portmap tcp/udp 1025:65000 map vx0 192.168.1.0/24 -> 0/32 Notice that the address to the right of the -> is 0. I discovered by accident that this configuration works on my system. I'm using ipnat and ipf on 4.3-RELEASE. I couldn't find any docs describing why this config works. I have a cable modem connection, and the DHCP-assigned IP address changes once in a while. I wonder if this is a feature intended to allow me to continue to forward packets after my address changes. Or is it a bad idea to run the box this way? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
