That people absolutely should use ppp -nat instead of pppd+natd, and that
this goes even if people ALREADY has a working pppd configuration.  Or
at least this was my experience when I added this, based on what lead to
how much support (which I roughtly equate with problems for the users.)

And that this should be documented in the natd manpage, because *that is
where the people affected will be looking when they are affected*.

I do not understand what you are attempting to say here at all.

Ref mpd: I might still have patches to support using libalias with
this directly somewhere; I remember submitting them back in 
1997 or early 1998.  Whistle did not want to integrate them in their
mainline, though, as they were using a different NAT library internally.
