The use of a dynamic NAT pool allows the hiding of internal IP topology, thereby increasing security.
for people that use nat to increase the number of machines that can access network services, ipv6 can do that too, but without nat. for people who want to use nat to increase their security, ipv6 can do that too. or maybe some people just really like using nat? -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior () daemon org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet () graffiti com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew () crossbar com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
