I'm a big fan of keeping all related parms in the same place. I'd rather specify the interface in my natd config file, all I want in rc.conf is natd_enable=yes and natd_flags set to read my config file. I therefore heartily endorse suggestion 1. -- Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
