Re: Basic NAT / Firewall Question

[ricky () latu nl]

It depends...

If your Firewall does true NAT to the inside server (BAD thing) then it will send all traffic on to the server. This is 
not what you'd want your firewall to do. Most firewalls don't do this. It will only send the ports you have selected 
through to the server and block anything else.
