Well, that's pretty simple. Generally, NAT translates source IP address of the packet
keeping destination IP intact. You need both of source and
destination addresses get translated. Reverse NAT translates does,
well, reverse thing: it translates destination IP keeping source IP intact.
So, you just need setup two ipfw nat instances, one "general" and one "reverse"
and pass your packets through both instances.
