I think you are obviously missing the point that people use nat to prevent inbound connections as part of their security measures.
Every firewall I've ever seen allows you to do the exact same thing without NAT.
I was speaking to the fact that the only use for nat is lack of v4 space. I'm not saying that other products don't provide the security features that some people use NAT for. Let me reprhase my inital statement, "In most cases i've seen where someone is using NAT it's part of a security policy and not due to lack of available address space". - jared -- Jared Mauch | pgp key available via finger from jared@puck.nether.net clue++; | http://puck.nether.net/~jared/ My statements are only mine.
