That statement may be wrong, but since (a) I never said any such thing and (b)
AFAICT this is completely disjoint from the issue of supportt for multiple IPv4
addresses and similar IPv4 facilities, I fail to see the relevance.

I don't have to. D-Link has this cute web-based emulator that lets you try out
their stuff without having to buy it. I used this emulator, available at
http://www.support.dlink.com/emulators/dir825_revB/202NA/login.html
to check and see if this device supports multiple IPv4 addresses and 1:1 NAT.
Unless I'm missing something, it does not. It does have NATPT, but that's not
sufficient.
Feel free to prove me wrong by pointing me at the pages where the support for
multiple IPv4 addresses lives and related firewall capabilities lives.
