Thanks for the info.  I'll try to grok when I next have some hacking time.

Assuming you want to allow hole punching, PCP makes sense.  Whether you
want to allow hole punching in the first place is a separate discussion.

Uh-huh.  I don't see how punching holes in the firewall is worse than
allowing access to the Global Internet.

Noted, thanks for the opinion.  I still don't understand how it works (who
gets port 53?  how are data from multiple links merged?), but I intend to
do my homework.
