Dear Sir, I am writing to say that in my view man natd does not explain how the FTP server manages to identify the aliased host when it opens the data channel (in the usual non passive mode). To me the question is how does natd process a connection request to the aliased hosts since the tcp connection request has the alias address and no other information. That said, I don't see how any incoming tcp connection could be processed so there is at least onee dummy - me - that will gratefully hear your anwser. Yours sincerely.
