Actually I was interested if Dual Opteron with FBSD5.3
can compare with Cisco7206 with NPE-G1 running only for NAT
purpose of some 7000 hosts (and sadly more then ~80k pps can easly bring it down and no one can comfirm that 7206 with NPE-G1 can actually process 1M pps:). Ipfilter that is included in FreeBSD 5.3 is an old 3.4.35, I was not satisifed with its performance so I thoght that since ipf 4.1.6 is newer and has some new features maybe it can better cope
with high NAT traffic. Unfortunately it won't compile cleanly on FBSD5.3-amd64 without supplied patch. I have compiled it with #define LARGE_NAT but so far I have tested it - only on few machines on local LAN and it works fine and I'm sure I will try it on live network with high traffic load :)

Here is diff that makes ipfilter 4.1.6 able to compile on amd64 as kernel option IPFILTER:
We don't seem to have version 4.1.6 in /usr/src/sys. Does this apply to a port?
