Up until here this sounds a lot like what I have seen a few times.  IP
forwarding works for some days after a fresh boot, then suddely it stops
working (I have NAT because the machine is connected to an ADSL link on
one side and my internal network on the other).

but my problem could always be fixed by again setting sysctl -w
net.inet.ip.forwarding=1, because somehow it was getting cleared to 0.
And I'm sure I didn't do it.
