I don't think your NAT box will be able to determine where to deliver
callbacks from your server on the public side to your client on the
private side. In spite of it appearing to work (especially reads) in
the beginning, you will probably loose in the long run and you will
miss file updates.

I don't think that it is possible to design a NAT scheme that will
be transparet for the AFS protocol.

PS: In its nature, NAT is as dark as the night [swedish natt] and
should never have been invented.
