Ok, I have to say something.

I agree that NATs are evil, and *should* not exist.  But, since ISP's
currently charge tons of money for more than one IP address, they always
*will* exist.

I wish there were more appreciation for the ephemeral nature of solutions.

Other things that "always *will* exist":

        - freon
        - smoking in bars
        - tobacco/hard liquor ads on TV
        - the dodo

I'm sure we could find a better list off-line; the point is that each of the above had reasons why it was inevitible and permanent.

It's OK to reject the status-quo.
