Just on the subject of NAT in general, I would strongly suggest anyone
considering NAT look at the Linux code.  It's not pretty, but one interface
that is *critical* is the "nat exceptions" code.  They've done a really good
job on that bit of work.

By NAT exceptions, I mean that there is actual code that sniffs datastreams
and looks for things like FTP port numbers and irc DCC's and RealAudio stream
IDs, etc.
