You don't need them, but they do no harm.

That's your problem (and further down).  You want to divert
on interface ppp0, not ed0.

Yep.  This has been fixed in the man page.  I must look at
changing ipfw to recognise service names - I'm not sure if
there'd be a syntax problem though.

The other half of the problem - you need -n ppp0.

You're now diverting the correct packets (although just for that
one machine).  The via ppp0 is better.

Yep - diverting on the wrong side again.

Now you're diverting packets for 10.0.0.2 *and* aliasing on the
correct interface.  But what's actually happening now is packets
are coming back addressed to 206.139.114.254 and aren't getting
dirverted (if they were, they wouldn't be aliased anyway).

You need

/sbin/ipfw add 2000 divert 6668 all from any to any via ppp0
natd -s -m -v -n ppp0

So close, yet so far :)
