There are a lot of people in the IETF who think exactly that,
actually.
And there are a lot of other people that don't.
(This message coming to you via the NAT box I bought in the hole-in-the-wall
computer store in the little strip mall right down the street, here in
Podunksville.
Lucky you.
If I had a NAT box at home, and I tried to connect to my corporate
network through it, I would quickly learn two things:
1) It doesn't work (it's an IPsec based solution)
2) If I then called the Help Desk, their response would be "we don't
support that configuration".
YMMV.
