] But what would be _really_ cool is if you could do this:

] Server2: 192.168.1.11:80 <-> x.y.z.t:80
] Server3: 192.168.1.12:80 <-> x.y.z.t:80

no, that would be *really* ugly.  because then you'd expect the NAT box
to know how to intercept every application you'd want to use, despite the
fact that those applications are evolving and the set of those apps is
changing constantly.  so you'd have to upgrade your NAT every time you upgraded
installed a new app.

stupidity has no bounds.
