squeeze more performance out of natd?

first advise: add more firewall rules so that any packets that YOU KNOW will not be translated will bypass the natd.. i.e. make sure packets fromteh localhost are not sent to natd. What throughput are you trying to NAT? I've never seen it be an issue. On Thu, 7 Feb 2002, Tariq Rashid wrote:
