Forward and NAT question

[Pierrick Brossin]

Hi!

I'm a little bit confused.
I got my server up and running with nat and stuff for a little while now
and I was wondering why would one need both net.inet.ip.forwarding set
to 1 and NAT ?

I've been searching in the docs and on google for 3 days but I can't
figure out what is forwarding needed for if NAT is enabled...

Regards
