Can I have ipnat map one of my ethernet cards to another?  I want to
connect my NetBSD machine to a cable modem.  So, it's connected out a
10baseT ethernet card using DHCP to acquire an IP address.  Then I want to
connect that machine to another using a direct link with ethernet cards.

What I want to do is transfer all data coming out of the direct link to the
cable modem connection.  I believe the term is IP masquerading.

I found ipnat.  However, it appears I have to name two IP addresses.  Which
I can't because one of them changes from day to day.  I suppose I could
write a script to grab it everytime I boot, but what a royal pain!

Thanks,
     Rick

I think you'll need to rewrite your ipf file when you get your dhcp
address.

I'd mail to current-users@netbsd.org and ask this -- others have done
this I'm certain.
