Yes, I think it could use some updating. In fact you get to choose,
either use ppp with -nat or natd, but not both. If you use ipfw, using
natd comes rather naturally. Likewise, using ipfilter with ipnat should
also be possible. (but I have not tried that). On the other hand, maybe
I will check with Brian Somers in case he has some compelling reasons to use
the -nat option with ppp:-)
