      I'd like to define that, unless explicitly defined otherwise, all requests to the external address of the pfsense box go to one host on the internal network. Is this possible? It would be like the machine was exposed to the public network.

          that would be a 1:1 nat... And to be honest really never a good idea.. How many freaking ports could you ever need to see unsolicited traffic on? Normally this would only be done when the customer is behind your firewall and they run their own firewall, etc.

          If this box is under your control - just forward the ports you need to it.
