I've got a patch that makes a HUP signal make natd re-read it's configuration file. (I got tired of losing my connection to remote machines when tweaking configurations.) Due to the design of libalias there's no easy way to make old entries go away, but existing entries can be modified and new entries can be added. Making natd into something more like ipfw (with add/change/delete functionality) is on my TODO list ... somewhere. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
