ping works

Ok, now blog-pinging works.

This site runs in a FreeBSD _jail_ on a private address. Simple packet forwarding allows the jail to run servers, i.e., respond to incoming connections.

Blog-pinging creates outgoing connections. In this case, the outgoing traffic has as source IP the private address and goes nowhere.

The simple fix is to NAT outgoing connections.
