Perhaps there's something wrong in the branch at present...?
Doubtful, I guess.

Hmmm... Well that all seems OK, then.
The only other thing I can think of is that the
'router_enable'="YES"' line's creating dramas.
As I understand it, this'll cause /etc/rc.d/routed to attempt to
launch the routing daemon specified by a 'router="..."' line,
which you don't appear to have. I don't think this'd interfere
with natd anyway, but I don't really understand what the hell's
going on in /etc/rc.d/routed.
Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I don't run route(daemon) so I don't know about router_enable, but
here is what I have in my rc.conf to get natd working:
#router stuff
natd_program="/sbin/natd"
natd_enable="YES"
natd_interface="rl0"
natd_flags="-dynamic -f /etc/natd.conf"
gateway_enable="YES"
So I use gateway_enable not router_enable.
I don't know if this applies to your problem completely, but might be
worth a shot.
Well, I tried commenting it out and restarting. Everything seems to work
without it, but natd still didn't start.
I can't remember exactly why I decided it should be in there (I also have
'gateway_enable="YES"'), but it must have been something I read when I
first started using FreeBSD back eight or ten years ago. Well, I'll leave
it commented out for a while and see if other problems show up.
