I'm not sure who was first, in terms of IOS NAT and ip_masq. If memory serves (and it usually doesn't) then 11.2 was released around Aug 97. I don't see any easy way to identify the release date.
Unfortunately, I let my urge to smack Meyer down mask the original intent of my message. To tell you the truth, I don't really care what products were shipping NAT first -- the fact still remains that NAT was not some hack created by a small group of people so that the "poor dialup user" could take revenge against the evil ISP that won't give out more than 1 IP for $20/month (as Meyer would have you believe). It is a documented standard, brought about by the IETF as a means of conserving IPv4 space. --Adam -- Adam McKenna <adam () flounder net> | GPG: 17A4 11F7 5E7E C2E7 08AA http://flounder.net/publickey.html | 38B0 05D0 8BF7 2C6D 110A
