It's possible. Could it get ugly? Yes. Do we just want to shut our eyes and say "let's not go there."... well... maybe. I just don't think the solution is to say, "this can never happen... we must limit all handheld devices to sitting behind a NAT gateway."
no eye-shutting. it's just about considering HOW MANY (or WHAT PART) of your users will need the 'full' service. if you have 95% of bfu's with web+mail phones or pda's then nat is completely ok for them. and those 5% (if so many ever) phreaks - give them an opportunity to have public ip with no nat for a few bucks more you will end up with exactly two exactly specified services... not that bad, is it? -- Tomas Daniska systems engineer Tronet Computer Networks Plynarenska 5, 829 75 Bratislava, Slovakia tel: +421 2 58224111, fax: +421 2 58224199 A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.
