Re: Cheap LSN/CGN/NAT444 Solution

[Daniel Corbe <corbe () corbe net>]

I use the Thunder for CGNAT but I've never tried to do NAT444 with it.  

The thing I like about A10 is their TAC is awesome.  If they say the box
supports something, then their TAC people will break their backs to try
and get it working for you.
