The way I look at the problem we have a gateway issue similar to
those that we used to have with smtp in the days of decnet sna etc.
The only difference is that we have both sides of the gateway
running IP albeit with different numbering schemes.
If I read this correctly, you're essentially stating that the
Internet terminates at the ISP side of the NAT. So hosts located on
the "wrong" side of the NAT are simply not part of the Internet -
they merely happen to use the same technology.
Is that a correct paraphrase of what you're saying? That does strikes
me as a fundamental failing of NATs if so.
