"IP masquerading" is what the linux people call NAT.

There are two DHCP servers in the ports tree (net/isc-dhcp2 and net/wide-dhcp). If I'm barking up the wrong tree, and you're actually talking about static NAT maps, then see natd(8). > or even building a > natd.conf file, I'm lost. You have read natd(8), right? > The closest I've found is the tutorial at > http://freebsd.peon.net, but that doesn't quite cover enough. Try describing exactly what you're trying to achieve, rather than guessing at components that might provide solutions -- then post the question to the -questions list. There are lots of helpful people there that will give you ideas. Oh -- also, check out Dan's list of NAT articles at http://www.freebsddiary.org/topics.php3#nat Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
