Port Forwarding/NAT on vSphere

Ok, so I am planning on running a tekkit server on an ubuntu VM, but because there isn't a visible NAT option on vSphere, I was wondering if I could port forward from my server to the VM.  The static IP for the server is the same as the comp that was running my old server on that is now outdated, so the port forwarding to the physical machine is fine.  I just need to port forward to the VM or even a NAT would do.  All help appreciated,

Jacob

I do not see why you could not port forward to the VM -

I think I'll use pfsense now, but vsphere and esxi don't support native portforwarding.

NAT, port forwarding, ... are natively supported only on hosted products like VMware Workstation, Player and Fusion. Anyway I'm also using pfSense and it works great (except for the TinyDNS Add-On).
