Well, you can always turn the NAT problem around. Sometimes it's the log server behind the NAT that is the problem, sometimes it it is the log client behind the NAT that is the pronlem. If you consider push vs. pull then you simply reverse which one is the bigger issue. Note that the journal protocol is HTTP, so it's probably as proxy and NAT-friendly as it gets.
