I'm facing a problem with accessing a HTTPd (Apache) jail locally. Consider this jail scenario: /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost foo.com 172.16.0.1 apache /etc/natd.conf: use_sockets yes same_ports yes unregistered_only yes redirect_port tcp 172.16.0.1:80 80 redirect_port tcp 172.16.0.1:443 443 /etc/firewall.sh ... ${fwcmd} add divert natd all from any to any via ${oif}(IPFW) ... rl0, my external net inferface, is aliased to 172.16.0.1.

I hope this isn't too off topic, but I'd like a quick solution to a problem. I have a small network behind a NAT firewall (FreeBSD of course) and I'd like to block/redirect all traffic from the internal network to the local mail server (same box as firewall) in order to prevent direct smtp requests to the outside world (mainly virus/trokan programs). I think I have it right in this
