You probably need to fill out /etc/resolv.conf on the FreeBSD box,
so it knows where to find the nameserver you want to use. Maybe
some entries in /etc/hosts would help too.
But, for what you're doing you really don't need the kernel
firewall stuff or natd. ppp -alias or ppp -nat (same thing) will
do it for you.
