Hello:

With very little information, I'm guessing you mean, "how do I route
through a FreeBSD box from one NIC to another?"

First, as root, 'sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1' and then update
/etc/sysctl.conf with 'net.inet.ip.forwarding=1' so it is available
after reboot.

Second, in /etc/rc.conf, put 'gateway_enable="YES"'

After that, you'll have to provide more information about your
configuration to receive more specific information about configuration
guidelines.

Regards,

Mike
