Description seh 2000-03-19 22:00:01 UTC 
	When FreeBSD is used as a firewall and server with a DSL router or cable modem
	with a private subnet between the FreeBSD box and the Internet router, outgoing
	connections are given a non-routable address instead of a routable address from
	the interface serving a leaf subnet.  These changes allow a system to bind a
	"pseudonym" address to the interface to the Internet router, allowing outgoing
	connections to use a routable address.  For a more detailed explaination, please
	uudecode, gunzip and untar the included text, and read the web page "router.html".

	Testing has been relatively limited, but the changes are very small.

Fix: The changes are included as a uuencoded, gzipped tar file.  When unbundled,
	a set of files appear in the directory ./pn.  All changes, as well as a web
	page describing the changes and how to apply them are available.  The text
	of the .uue file is as follows:

Are the proposed changes still considered useful? Is this not 
something that natd could do better?
