I'd prefer to use the module, however it doesn't seem to work: # ipfw add nat 123 all from any to any <-- example from the man page gives: ipfw: getsockopt(IP_FW_ADD): Invalid argument even though: # kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name ... 6 2 0xc4400000 d000 ipfw.ko 7 1 0xc9b33000 4000 ipdivert.ko So, the original question remains - do I really need to recompile the kernel in order to use NAT with IPFW? As far as ipnat(8) goes, switching to ipfilter (which is mandatory if I intend to use ipnat?) is not really an option.
