I am using FreeBSD v3.2. I am using ipfw and natd. I would like to forward inbound ftp traffic to an internal server. I have tried ipfw fwd unsuccessfully.  The rule I tried:

ipfw add 200 fwd 192.168.4.2 tcp from any to <oip> ftp

Where 192.168.4.2 is the internal ftp server and <oip> represents the public address on my ipfw firewall.

Am I misunderstanding the function of fwd? I have not tried natd -redirect_port yet. Would this be a better option? fwd could be added or removed dynamically (preferred). Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
