I must confess it is a bit terse to me. Does it mean that you need to
enable the firewall on the NetBSD machine, and scramble packets which
were generated with a predictable port number? It seems odd. (Unless
you refer only to NetBSD-as-a-router, while I was talking about
NetBSD-as-a-host.)

Also, ipnat(8) and ipnat(5), on a 5.0.1 machine, do not seem to
explain about how to do it (and Google was not my friend here).
