Thanks for the detailed explanation! Reading it that way makes sense 
to me now.  I am trying to think which is more readable in general 
and I think the table syntax is perhaps the best.  It does seem to 
treat it in a way thats slightly more intuitive (for me anyways) in 
that I have one nat statement that applies to "those who I want to 
NAT", and the boolean logic applies in the table definition is readable enough.


table <204network> {!$server1,!$server2,$internal204}

nat on $ext_if from <204network>  to any -> $officepublicIP

Thanks again,
