Re: NAT->IPv6

But anybody clear understand that if your internal hosts do not have
a public address then all attacks may be only static - wait until
internal host open TCP to somewhere.

This is a naive understanding.  Source-routing would let me get
packets through to an internal address unless your NAT also acts as a
firewall.

(Granted, I think it turns out that pretty much all NATs do this kind
of firewalling in all cases.  But there's no reason why a firewall
allowing only outgoing connections should be any more error-prone than
a NAT gateway.)
