RE: configuring NAT port forward

G'day Henri,

What you're doing is what I've done on all m0n0wall sites I have - and it works (but there's no need for the reboot as this isn't a Windows system).  One additional thing I do (often) is to set up aliases which makes reading the rulesets simpler as I'm forwarding 25, 80, 443, 987 to "sbs08" instead of to "192.168.10.2" or similar.  :)
