FreeBSD Firewall + NAT Traversal + IPsec

Dear Tom,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I would like to know more on the issue. To my understanding, since the 
source address of the IP packet from the client would be modified on the 
NAT, normally it would fail AH check on the IPsec VPN gateway, or the 
FreeBSD NAT has built-in compliance with RFC3947?

Thank you,   John Mok
