question on NAT for multiple subnets

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

I've never done it but I think you can run multiple nat instances
and multiple divert sockets, you will have to specify them in the
config file to natd, though.  If it were me, though, I would try to
setup multiple FreeBSD boxes, not only does that give you some
redundancy, but it makes troubleshooting a lot easier.
