That makes perfect sense to me...there is not a better way to protect a
box from a DOS/hack than to only give it a private address.
this is a common fantasy.  changing the its license place does not change
the vulnerability of your car to an accident.
No, but putting your car on a private road that you need to circumvent
several roadblocks to reach IS a pretty good deterrent to its being in an
accident.

that's called a firewall, or in the extreme a disconnected network, not nat.
