>Description:
I don't get ipfw(1) manual's:
ipfw add nat 123 all from any to any
What typical user wants is to add NAT (aka "Leeenux masquerade") for 2nd/3rd computer. We show complex cases of NAT usage in EXAMPLES section, but don't show the simple, most popular case:
ipfw nat 123 config ip ADDR log
ipfw add 20 nat 123 ip from any to ADDR
ipfw add 10 nat 123 ip from 10.0.0.0/24 to any
I think this (or similar) should be in a man page ready for copy&paste with no thinking. I had to Google around:

man ipfw
