Provided all clients are inside your perimeter and not

specify:
listen=xxx where xxx is the private of your FreeBSD box.
At present I listen on 3 IP interfaces, the public one, and the 2
private ones.
Note that it will not communicate well with outside world in this
configuration. If you need that, than yes, your clients will be detected as
NATed and you have to use the public IP interface for SER.
Thanks. I do need both "inter-office" communication (no NAT) as well as
via the public internet (via NAT). The config seems to be working
(after commenting out the section that does not forward to private
addresses.)
I added a log() to the route scripts to see for myself what was
happening. The nat test is always true. I asked the question however
because, as you say above, SER will work just fine without NAT. I
wasn't sure how SER would treat the "Inter-office" calls, since NAT is
not involved. I wasn't sure if my config was wrong or now.
Thanks,
