     For now, I'm using ftp-proxy.  It is intended for use with pf, but
can work with ipfilter.  The catch is that the copy in 4.0 has a bug.
You need to update it and rebuild it.  I've put a copy for i386 at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jnemeth/ftp-proxy .  To configure
it, add this to /etc/inetd.conf:

127.0.0.1:8021  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/ftp-proxy 
ftp-proxy -i -n -u root -D 3

and add this to /etc/ipnat.conf:

rdr rtk0 0/0 port 21 -> 127.0.0.1 port 8021 tcp

(don't forget to comment out / remove the proxy port ftp line).
