So what does that mean for a client application (http/ftp,etc.) where you might have local firewalls permitting things for internal-subnet source ranges but you also have external targets that only accept pre-configured static sources? With NAT you'd use the public side of the NAT for the remote configuration. What's the equivalent when the application has to do it itself? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
