Natd(8) knows how to deal with multiple NAT instances for different interfaces, which is useful when you have multiple ISPs.
The problem with it, is that it becomes incredibly hairy to configure your IPFW rules, in particular if you have other policy to implement too. I spent some quality time with a 9.0-Stable nanobsd image today, and the script below is my proof of concept of a simpler way to do that. The idea is to let a jail deal with the two ISPs and use an epair to deliver a "normal default route interface" to the rest of the firewall, making its configuration simpler and easier to understand. A discard interface is used to hold 127/8 and the default route in the jail. If the default route were to one of the ISP interfaces, and that if_ goes down, you loose the default route, and packets don't even reach ipfw(8) in the first place. Depending on how paranoid you are, you can run the natd(8) in an empty jail, (see last line). In a sense this is "DMZ-in-a-box", and there are a number of interesting ideas to explore, for instance running an openvpn instance in the jail, but put its TUN/TAP interface in the default (non-jail) vnet. The only disadvantage I have found yet, is that you see all packets with EPAIR_IN destination, instead of the physical destination IP, the source address however is OK. Another thing I noticed is that we should probably consider giving tcpdump/pcap in the unjailed part the ability to packet-dump interfaces in all vnets. This would match all the other the "semi-transparent" properties of jails. NB: This is only a proof of concept, you may want to think more about the IPFW rules before going live.
