Re: [arin-announce] IPv4 Address Space (fwd)

And sometimes you use NAT because you really do not want the NAT'ed device
to be globally addressible but it needs to have a link to the outside to 
download updates.  Instrument controllers et.al.

The wisdom of the design decision to use the internet as the only method
to provide software updates is left for individual cogitation.  (and no I
am not talking about Win[*] products here)
