| I don't see why this generates comments about anti-NAT religion.

I prepared a shockingly rude but very funny riposte to this message,
however the spirits intervened and decided to make a poorly-aimed
wheel-mouse motion kill the editor in a surprising way.

Unless this can be attributed to the universe's hatred of NAT in
general, may I humbly suggest that this is a suggestion from the loa
that we return to the discussion at hand, viz. how to make
midboxes more useful to the people who choose to deploy them, by (for
example) exposing servers inside to things outside, and so forth?

Perhaps some kind soul will create a NAT-Haters mailing list or alt.flame.nat
USENET newsfroup, since it seems like that would serve as a meeting-place for
people who don't like NATs, as well as being a great place to rant
about people's bruised knees, and may keep the running warfare from spilling
onto unimaginable numbers of mailing lists?
