natd port forward times out, tcpdump yields nothing

Still not working, but I DO have natd aliasing properly.  Here's my
natd output (remember which IP is mine, the IRC jail, and the example
round-robin IP):

[root at nub /etc]# natd -f /etc/natd.conf
In  {default}[TCP]  [TCP] 72.65.73.23:2897 -> 207.210.114.45:6667 aliased to
           [TCP] 72.65.73.23:2897 -> 72.20.28.202:6667
In  {default}[TCP]  [TCP] 72.65.73.23:2897 -> 207.210.114.45:6667 aliased to
           [TCP] 72.65.73.23:2897 -> 72.20.28.202:6667
In  {default}[TCP]  [TCP] 72.65.73.23:2897 -> 207.210.114.45:6667 aliased to
           [TCP] 72.65.73.23:2897 -> 72.20.28.202:6667

72...23 (me) is hitting the natd on the jail IP (207...45), which is
getting correctly aliased to 72...202 (example round-robin IP).  So it
appears the natd is working properly.  Here's my natd configuration as
it exists now:

# Nub.Core NATd
verbose
alias_address 207.210.114.45
log
log_denied
log_ipfw_denied
pid_file /var/run/natd.pid

### IRC Redirect Ports
# 6667
redirect_port tcp 72.20.28.202:6667 207.210.114.45:6667

And for more record, here's my ipfw.rules file up until the divert:

[root at nub /etc]# cat ipfw.rules
IPF="ipfw -q add"
ipfw -f -q flush

#loopback
$IPF 10 allow all from any to any via lo0
$IPF 20 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
$IPF 30 deny all from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
$IPF 40 deny tcp from any to any frag

# statefull
$IPF 50 check-state
$IPF 60 allow tcp from any to any established
$IPF 70 allow all from any to any out keep-state
$IPF 54999 allow icmp from any to any

[snip -- Some allowed ports (port 80, 443, etc.), and some denied IPs]

# IRC (natd divert for IRC port-forwarding
$IPF 50220 divert natd all from 72.20.28.202 6667 to 207.210.114.45 6667 via rl0
$IPF 50221 divert natd all from any to 207.210.114.45 6667 via rl0

Any attempt to connect to the IRC jail IP thus far, though, still
fails with a "connection timed out."

Thanks for your help thus far.  Any additional ideas?
