Route between two NATted LANs and the WAN, with port forwarding and connection tracking. It got hairy when I tried to set up the connection tracking between the two LANs. The WAN-to-LANs tracking wasn't too hard.

This was in 2005, so I will grant that things may have changed since then.

Yeah, that's really pretty easy to do with pf. You should give it a look next time you need a firewall, particularly one with several different interfaces and needs.

How about a PF to Nftables translator, along with the iptables to Nftables translator? Isn't that one of the real strength of Nftables, flexibility?
