I missed this bit... actually, this is less a third world issue as much
as it is an organizational issue. NAT for large networks is meant to be
driven through a small number of points. This is how it's supposed to
work. Why should a company with 50000 users need to purchase 50,000
public IP addresses when they can have 1 and use 50000 internal private
network addresses? We'd have run out of IP4 address space years ago if
this were not possible.
