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.
