[NTLUG:Discuss] IP NAT question

GOOD IDEA!

Ya know..there are times when port forwarding just DOESN'T cut the mustard
all by itself.  Take multiplayer LAN games for instance.  Two users behind a
port forwarded IP MASQ server can't join a game outside their local lan.
AH!  but if one had a one-to-one public/private IP address NAT solution,
that would make the game possible.  Of course from there one would need to
apply the appropriate firewall rules to the now 'exposed' private ip'ed
workstations....as Jay had mentioned he would do LATER.

Unfortunately, I no longer have a block of IPs with which to play.  In my
case, I'm having to try to implement PPTP.  I've got it compiled and
configured.  Testing will be tonight....I'll let you know how it turns out.
