can ping the LAN side of the router (192.168.200.1),
and it can also ping the WAN side of the router (172.16.20.10).

other pcs or the internet, but
packets to the natd daemon.
When you ping past the freebsd gateway, your source address is a 192.*.*.*
You cannot expect machines past the freebsd router to know where
to send its reply to you.
Those machines you are trying to ping just send the reply to
their default gateway instead of the freebsd

First of all I have to admit that basically you are right. I *must*
