Thanks for the clarification, I was just going by natd(8):
This program provides a Network Address Translation facility for use with
divert(4) sockets under FreeBSD. It is intended for use with NICs - if
you want to do NAT on a PPP link, use the -nat switch to ppp(8).
Perhaps this needs to be updated, not my area though, volunteers are
welcome :)
