Actually, it works quite well as long as you set the masq timeout for port
7003/udp (IIRC) to be effectively infinite. We have 75 compute servers
behind a NAT/ipmasq gateway which has been so modified, they've been
working fine for several years.
This will, of course, chew up a lot of ports on the gateway if you have
more than a few machines behind it.
