Hi Joshua.
Thanks for your response.
"-redirect_port tcp 128.1.100.139:8080" is what is not working. The site
"128.1.100.139"
is not accessible from outside, even if the redirect seems to be working
after refresh of natd (rebooting)
when I use a ps command to see what processes are running.

Thanks
Abdul
