Now I'm trying to work on this. I don't guarantee any success in recent future.

The first step is porting libalias to be a kernel module. I have already
patches to make it compilable as kernel module, however with some features
disabled - alias monitoring, sockets, and ipfw punching. The first two can
be abandoned, but ipfw punching needs to be reimplemented in kernel.

The next step is to write ng_nat using libalias interface :)
