So what does that mean for a client application (http/ftp,etc.) where
you might have local firewalls permitting things for internal-subnet
source ranges but you also have external targets that only accept
pre-configured static sources? With NAT you'd use the public side of
the NAT for the remote configuration. What's the equivalent when the
application has to do it itself?
