Is there any reason to prefer port-forwarding with ipfw (forward ipaddr) vs. natd (-redirect_port), if I am using both subsystems in any case? I see natd uses libalias and an ipfw divert port, so my thought is that the ipfw approach would incur less overhead. Also, the ipfw approach permits a hostname for resolving where natd requires an IP address. Thank you.
