I don't think the above suggestion is what you're looking for (I may
be wrong). cmott's alias stuff will give you NAT to a single IP
number, but won't map IP ranges to other IP ranges.
There's a package called ip-filter (ip_fil3.1.1) that does NAT, but
I've experienced kernel panics on FreeBSD-2.1.5 when using it (it
involves patching you kernel) - in fact I'm now using cmott's alias
stuff 'cos it suits my needs better :) - not to mention doing the nasty
stuff required to make ftp PORT commands transparent.
