First you should not rely on NAT as a security measure, anyway,
because it isn't.

For a security-conscious IT professional, this may be a true statement.

But, for the vast majority of end users of IT, given the choice of a 
Hardware NAT device vs. nothing for security, I'll pick the hardware
NAT device every time.
