Do not NAT. When all those people want to do social networking to the same

you are going to get Issues if you NAT. So don't.

Don't?

Considering that, ten years ago, some computers were still often
shared by thousands of people distinguished by their port numbers
and that, today, pseudo ISPs are using NAT, it is not only wrong
but also impossible to identify a user only by his IP address
without port numbers.
