Err, how does that save on ip addresses? Based on your explanation, I
don't think it goes hand in hand with the original objective of NAT --
save on depleting ip addresses. Just a thought...
Maybe what you're trying to put is that for example, you have a number of
local 'illegal' ip addresses then NAT translates them from your pool of
'legal' addresses. So it's not exactly having the same number of
*different* external (legal) ip addresses as the internal ip addresses.
Please correct me if my understanding is wrong....
