    Hi.
    I need to run nat box for ~2000 clients with up to 300.000 active connections.
    ipnat doesn't handle such load, so I'm going to try natd - but worry that natd
    will simply use all available outgoing ports and then crash.
    I have 128 public IP's and in ipnat's configuration just map smaller blocks of
    private IP's into certain public IP, but have no idea how can I do this using
    natd.

    Any suggestions?

    Regards,
    Andriy Korud.
