Kevin,
In a "single address NAT" environment:
1) Have you tried to POP mail from a client on the WAN side of
the interface to a POP server on the LAN side of the NAT'ed
environment? (Or just try to telnet to port 110...)
2) Have you ping'ed, tracerouted, or had success with *ANY* ICMP
based traffic where the traffic is directed from the WAN
side to the LAN side?
3) Have you tried keeping your connection established (like a
dedicated connection), and surfing (hitting many different
sites) for a while, to see if your NAT'ed router stops routing?
I believe that if you try these tests, that they will fail.
If any one of them fails, would you agree that Ascend's
implementation of single address NAT is flawed? Last time I
checked, there were more situations where NAT'ed environments
fail, but maybe these tests are sufficient to establish the
point.
thanks,
Robert
