this falls under the "there are still many reasons i need to use ftp" 
sentence... most of the programs are windows clients that only speak ftp.

there were two solutions to the problem, i found:  one, spell out the 
remote hostname fully when initiating port forwarding.  two, wu-ftpd has a 
"passive address" command that will let it report a different IP's to 
different host/netmasks.
