Needless to say, very capable (Linux-based) DSL modems with highly
configurable built-in switch, router, NAT, and firewal are dirt cheap. Why
not use one? Use D-Link and you can buy two for the price of one ;-) If you
are brand-sensitive try Linksys or Netgear, though they are known to be
picky.
In case you insist on implementing NAT I assure you that you have at least
one intent reader for any comments on how implementing NAT on Plan 9
differs from UNIX clones.

Running NAT at user level would, assuming I'm not totally off base, be
quite expensive and the hardware on which it runs would have to be
pretty powerful.
