NAT]
is an evil scheme to change
[IP]s as they travel through a gateway. A common
special case is
"Masquerading
",
where multiple machines appear to have the gateway's [
IP]
address, which is necessary if
you have multiple
machines trying to communicate with remote hosts on the InterNet but
the [ISP] only gave you one [IP] address.
See RFC:1631 and [NAPT].
