The first you mentioned is built into the user PPP code (http://www.srv.net/~cmott/alias.html). The second is built into the IP Filter code (http://coombs.anu.edu.au/~avalon/) With this second way you can use any IP interface for the translation. The IP Filter NAT method requires some additional proxies (such as a ftp proxy). --mark.
