That fixed it! Thanks for the support people. I wasn't 
seeing /var/log/alias.log* growing to 100mb+ so I never considered that that 
was the problem.

# man natd
... snip ...
-log | -l   Log various aliasing statistics and information to the file
                 /var/log/alias.log.  This file is truncated each time natd is
                 started.
... snip ...

Does "log yes" cause natd to write a log to a different place then "-l"
It seems to have created some type of ghost file in var.
