    My home network is currently setup with a lowend router from my phone
    company. Its not very good and i have my only phone service through
    it using VOIP. I've managed to get the rest of my network (3
    computers) behind the freebsd machine (computer 4). The problem is
    that i'd like to move the voip router behind the freebsd machine.
    I'm assuming i need to do some sort of port forwarding to pull this
    off. I've done some googling but can't seem to find good
    documentation on what ports to forward or how one would do port
    fowarding to another host.

    I'm using FreeBSD 5.4 stable (week or two old), ipfw and natd with a
    divert rule in place and practically no other configuration. Does
    anyone have any resources on forwarding voip traffic?

    My long term goal is to get voip working and then setup an ip 6
    tunnel with HE.

    I am not currently subscribed to questions so please CC me in replies.

    Here's a rough idea what my network is like

    cable modem
        +
        +
       voip router
       +
       +
       freebsd machine
       + + +
       pc mac mac

    Everything is setup wtih IP4 at the moment.
