The IP address that the destination replies to does not have to be where the human sits. Consider that the originator's IP is not passed in the example stated but the business firewall's is. That does not have to be the only 'via' which alters the IP address. I know quite well that breadcrumbs are not used. And since I've done it, I reckon it is possible. Bill Hamel wrote:
