The patch itself contains an addition to the ftp-proxy man page, which describes the introduced switch -R. In short, ftp-proxy was made for FTP clients behind NAT, not servers behind NAT. The patch introduces support for that case with the -R address:port switch. The man page patch should explain how to use it. You might have to add multiple ftp-proxy lines to inetd.conf, if you want to proxy both clients and servers behind NAT (one instance with an RDR as usual for the clients, one instance with -R and without RDR for each NATed server). In general, first get the normal mode working (using the man page and FAQ), and once you're familiar with that, the patch should make sense. Daniel
