It does PNAT and port forwarding to an inside IP address with remapping. This matches with the vernacular use of the term "firewall". I've not tried to get it to route a subnet; I'm not even sure if it's possible. If you want to be pedantic and completely arbitrary in use of your definitions I suppose you could say that the Airport Extreme fares poorly in the ASTM E119 tests and therefore "doesn't do firewalling". ---Rob
