Complain about NAT all you want but NAT + RFC 1918 addressing in IPv4 made things such as these much nicer in a home and business setting.
An argument I've been making right along. Concern about what's happening network-wise outside my edge router belongs to my edge router, *and no other device on my LAN* should be held hostage by problems there. That's my best practice advice (to my clients, at least), and if IPv6 makes that impossible, well, then, things are gonna get messy, until someone figures out a way around it, cause I'm sure I'm not the only person who views it that way...
