1) Have you told natd the interface is dynamic and might change IPs?
2) If you're using ppp, why even bother with natd? The NAT in ppp uses the
exact same libalias and gives you less headaches with ipfw because the
translation on incoming packets is done before they hit ipfw, and outgoing
after ipfw let them go. I can tell you this helps a lot when trying to use
dynamic rules.
Or am I missing some part of the picture?
