That's what firewalls *are for* Jay. They intentionally break end-to-end for communications classified by the network owner as undesirable. Whether a particular firewall employs NAT or not is largely beside the point here. Either way, the firewall is *supposed* to break some of the end to end communication paths.
Correct, Bill. Hopefully, everyone else here who thinks DNAT is the anti-Christ heard the "largely beside the point" part of your assertion, with which I agree. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
