Ah, you're on the "I should be required to allow direct outside connection to my interior machines if I want to be connected to the Internet" crowd.
Speaking for myself, I'm one of the "if I want to allow direct outside connection to my interior machines I should be able to" crowd. And also one of the "if I and someone else want to connect our hosts directly we should be able to" crowd. That is, I don't want the architecture of the Internet to be crippled by NAT everywhere. If you want to NAT *your* network, go for it. As a local stalwart is wont to say, "I encourage my competitors to do that" ;-) Regards, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer (kauer@biplane.com.au) http://www.biplane.com.au/kauer GPG fingerprint: AE1D 4868 6420 AD9A A698 5251 1699 7B78 4EEE 6017 Old fingerprint: DA41 51B1 1481 16E1 F7E2 B2E9 3007 14ED 5736 F687
