 actually, it seems that you can't use this in NAT rules.  eg, in =
 
 "map .... -> ifaddrs(foo)" (whether ifaddrs(foo) is a variable or
 not), errors occur, eg:
 
 /etc/npf.conf:13:42: syntax error near 'ifaddrs'
 
 or
 
 /etc/npf.conf:15:0: variable 'outside_ip' is of type 'table' not 'family-a=
 ddress-mask'
