So, in the .conf file for natd, that is where you write rules that are your port mappings. Now normally you put this rules in natd.conf and all is good. But OS X Server makes the .conf file from natd.plist. So you have to put your rules in natd.plist. And its a plist, so its in XML format. My problem is that, I don't know how to write these rules as XML?

And another 'thing' I was thinking was, if I try to create my own DMZ using rules, then I have one 'blanket' rules that forwards all ports to machine X, and then I just need to write a bunch of rules that keep certain ports pointed to my server. Problem is my server has a dymanic IP, so how do I write a rules that "unforwards" a port? For instance port 80 need to not be forwarded, not be caught by the blanket dmz forwarding, which would be the last one in the list. Any ideas?

Sure there isn't a setting for this in Server Admin somewhere?

Yup I'm sure, port mappings have to be done in XML in the natd.plist file. There should be settings in the server admin app but unfortunately there aren't.

There is the default natd.plist file. I think the problem is thats its supposed to be self-explanatory, and I simply don't get it. :-/
