>Description:
Channelling for Paul Hoffman:
ipnat needs ip forwarding turned on in order to be anything more than
a waste of kvm.
There should be an rc.conf setting for IPv4 ip forwarding allowing you
to tweak this one way or the other.
/etc/rc.d/ipnat should notice if/when sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding is
turned off and either whine, or fix it itself (exactly which doesn't
really matter to me).
>How-To-Repeat:
turn on ipnat, don't turn on IP forwarding, be confused for a bit.
>Fix:
probably small.
