How does natd know not to translate addresses coming in from the "wrong"
interface?  I.e:


[internet] <--> [ed0] (host) [ed1] <--> InternalNet

All of the firewall rules and everything else seems to require ed0 be
specified for NATD to operate correctly, However, how does natd understand
that it shouldnt be translating (say 10. addresses) coming in off of the
internet?
