You don't mention any use of proxy ARP.  Given that you have 'borrowed'
an address from the local Ethernet subnet for your remote machine,
other hosts will have no means of knowing that the remote machine
is lurking 'behind' your FreeBSD box.

You need somthing like:

arp -s  146.230.224.9  12:34:56:78:90:12  pub

where "12:34:56:78:90:12" is the MAC address of the ethernet interface 
in the FreeBSD machine itself.
