QUESTION: Is there a way to setup a redundant router, such that I can offload traffic from the primary router to another machine, without breaking TCP sessions?
There are several ways of setting up such redundancy; the common case which Cisco calls VRRP, you can use under FreeBSD as CARP. However, this approach is limited to pure routing; it does not handle replicating the NAT state tables:
BACKGROUND: I have a FreeBSD machine acting as a gateway, running natd(8) through ipfw(8).
...which you mention you are using. I don't know of any way to provide redundancy for existing connections going via natd.
