Are you sure? I grabbed the November 2nd (I think) snapshot, and compiled a kernel the other day to go with it, and IP-NAT is working perfectly for me.

I assume your kernel has the right options turned on...? The GENERIC kernels don't.

Maybe the filtering isn't coming up when you boot... The scripts I use make sure IP-NAT is loaded:

/root# cat /etc/ppp/nat
address=`ifconfig ppp0 | tail -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'`
echo Current IP address is $address
echo Cleaning out IPNAT
ipnat -F
ipnat -C
ipf -E
echo Setting up IPNAT for IP address $address
echo "map ppp0 10.0.2.15/24 -> $address/32 portmap tcp/udp 10000:65000" | ipnat
-f -
echo "map ppp0 10.0.2.15/24 -> $address/32" | ipnat -f -
