        I was speaking to the fact that the only use for nat is
lack of v4 space.  I'm not saying that other products don't provide
the security features that some people use NAT for.

        Let me reprhase my inital statement, "In most cases i've seen
where someone is using NAT it's part of a security policy and not due
to lack of available address space".
