i used to use ipfw to divert to natd.  so, when i went to configure a
new nat box nat box today, i was 82.3% there when i hit a bunch of nat
stuff in ipfw that i do not remember seeing before.  it appears that
ipfw will nat all on its own without natd and divert.

what's the trade-off?  which should i use?
