You can run multiple copies of natd, each one on its own divert socket. ipfw rules can decide which internal machines & which external addresses go to which divert socket. Performance may well be an issue, depending on bandwidth. Perhaps one NAT box per 100 client boxes would not be overkill - is adding 1% to the h/w budget unreasonable? -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
