>Description:
Add warning about usage of special aliases
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

Change the last sentance of the section from this:

The PUBLIC_ADDRESS can either be the external IP address or the special
keyword 0/32, which means to use the IP address assigned to IF.

To this:

The PUBLIC_ADDRESS can either be the external IP address or the special
alias 0/32, which means to use the public routable IP address assigned to IF.


And then add this.

These special aliases |0.32|, |0/0| and |0/32|, only work in IPNAT's map
and bimap rules. They do NOT work in IPF rules, or in IPNAT rdr rules.
Beware how and where you use these special aliases as incorrect usage
generates no errors.

 I submitted this doc pr over a year ago. 
 What is its current status?
 When is it going to be included into the handbook???

State-Changed-Why:  
I am sorry but this does not seem to be needed. If you review the ipnat 
section, it should be clear for you that only the information there 
reflects ipnat and not ipf (Which was already discussed prior to the 
ipnat section). In addittion, the external address does not neccessarily 
have to be a public routable address, for instance you can use a ppp 
connection over a private ip which gets natted later. Thanks for the 
submission anyway.
