I've been downvoted in the past for pointing out what everyone says works in theory vs what actually happens in the real world.

- Arnt 5y agoNAT works for some use cases, not so well for others. I know a database that's updated every night via a server-to-server connection that passes five levels of NAT, and when that crontab broke someone had to fix it by finding and correcting a bug in a 1500-line NAT configuration on one important router where the consequences of a mistake would be very bad indeed. It works in the sense that the database is updated, but I cannot help thinking of Truth 3 in RFC1925.
- dang 5y agoOk, but please don't bait the community like that. Pre-emptive defensiveness puts a negative torque on conversation.
