Yes. Variable expansion works fine in nat.conf

|    ext_ip = "192.0.2.1"
|    nat on rl0 from 192.168.7.0/24 to any -> $ext_ip
|
|I haven't looked past this--there could be other problems....

|> rdr on rl0 proto tcp from any to ext_ip/32 port 80 -> 192.168.7.11
|> rdr on rl0 proto udp from any to ext_ip/32 port 80 -> 192.168.7.11

|... ext_ip/32 ...

This is another problem. It would have to be, as Ben pointed out, within
the earlier declaration as in:

    ext_ip = "192.0.2.1/32"

and later used as:

    blah blah blah $ext_ip blah blah blah
    
where 'blah' is the balance of the statement.
