>Description:
In a situation where you have several services listening on different ports
and you want to apply static NAT rules (without changing port numbers) for those services to the internet via a single IP,
It is very convenient to have a single translation where you specify a port range
to be used for those services and not writing several NAT rules for every single port.
NPF currently does not allow port ranges to be used in translation segment of NAT rules.
This should be supported for static NAT rules or dynamic rules with no-port flags set
since they do not have any business rewriting port numbers. if there be need to change ports,
then it is free to disallow.
>How-To-Repeat:
map $ext_if static proto udp $ip <-> $ext_v4 port 7078 - 7083
>Fix:
Yes, please !
