10.6. Does FreeBSD support NAT or Masquerading
If you have a local subnet (one or more local machines), but have
been allocated only a single IP number from your Internet provider
(or even if you receive a dynamic IP number), you may want to look at
the natd
program. Natd
allows you to connect an entire subnet to the
internet using only a single IP number.
The ppp program has similar functionality built in via
the -alias
switch. The alias library
is used in both cases.
