Heh, I love it. When I was working on the IPv6 rollout project for the Federal government, I kept saying there were legitimate uses for NAT only to be irrationally glared at by the IPv6 "purists" as some kind of heathen. ;-)

Glad to hear others agree that it should be up to the user to do whatever they want with their network. :-)

Yep...I agree. Why shouldn't I be able to use NAT in my network when I want to. It was always blamed as a workaround from the hardcore IPv6 protectionists. But it's a feature that was developed for a technical purpose.

Because IPv6 is perfect and lowly mortals may not do things anyway but the perfect way! ;-)
