*VERY* easy to configure.  Of course, that is because it is only doing
address translation.  The last time I touched one (about a year ago!)
the logging consisted ONLY of syslog.  In other words, unless you're
good at shell scripts or Perl, monitoring the thing is a nightmare.
Of course, they could have come up with something better at this point.
