Our n-nth reading of "man ipfw" discovered that the "fwd ipaddr" syntax of ipfw requires a switch in kernal. So now our "fwd" syntax on ipfw rules is being accepted and appears to be working. afaics "on paper", the natd fowarding provides the same as the ipfw fwd function. Do you know of any differences? We'd like to keep natd out of this particular "border router" if possible. It will become a very busy machine if FreeBSD is stable as a router. Merci bcp, Len ========================================= >have a look at the natd(8) man page : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
