2nd, could we please get back to my subject? That was just an innocent
example. I'd like to get input on the real issue! Only one (private
email) response so far, and that was negative. Reminder: I want to
find out if I should bury the whole stuff I wrote and don't touch NAT
ever again or do something. I'm convinced it has potential, see my
document for some suggestions (e.g. load balancing over two ISPs, i.e.
you have two ISPs and use both simultaneously; please remember that's
also just an example and not my problem), but I'm not from marketing,
so I won't try to convince the world but do as you say. So far you
said nothing (ok, that one negative voice).
