Infact it doesn't ... it is owns by the Zyxel 645R (the wan side) which 
does a complete nat/pat to the inner FreeBSD box (that has IP 10.0.1.1 and 
the router's ethernet is 10.0.1.254).

But if I can't use this address which one I should use ? The FreeBSD box 
has/knows only private IPs .
Perhaps it is the idea behind this configuration which is wrong but I 
thought it could work, also because it seems to work in an other situation 
with only a side with a router that does the complete nat (the other side 
use ppp and a bridge 645M, so the wan IP address is on the tun0 device of 
the box).


Any ideas ? Anyone else which has tried a setup like this ?
