Re: Stats on how common NAT is?

["R. DuFresne" <dufresne () sysinfo com>]

Duke Hospital just NAT'ed all it's internal address space, as they step up
compliance with HIPAA.  I've worked with a number of companies over the
years that have used NAT as Bill Royd's mentions in his reply also.  and
as always, he gives sound advice and reasoning.

Thanks,
