I'm still seeing the same issue.  Here's the output from pfctl -sa | grep 10.212.1.1

nat on vlan6 inet from 10.212.1.0/24 to 10.211.0.0/16 -> 10.212.1.1
rdr on vlan6 inet proto udp from any to 10.212.1.1 port = domain -> <nr_roundrobin> round-robin
rdr on vlan6 inet proto tcp from any to 10.212.1.1 port = domain -> <nr_roundrobin> round-robin
vlan6 udp 10.212.1.11:53 <- 10.212.1.1:53 <- 10.211.128.146:54108       NO_TRAFFIC:SINGLE

It looks like the redirect is happening correctly, but the NAT isn't working in reverse.  The 10.212.1.1 address is in the subnet on $vlan821.  Will this break NAT?  That is, does NAT have to have an address on $vlan6?

Regards,

Mike
