Firewalls are discussed in some detail in the Handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/firewalls.html and at http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd/topics.htm#firewalls I don't NAT is covered in the Handbook, but you can see other people's documentation about it at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html (section 4.3) http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd/topics.htm#nat However, if you'd like to write more complete documentation about it, please do. You should probably take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/docproj-primer/ first.
