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.
