Yes, that would be a nice feature. The NAT-PT box would then behave
more like a traditional NAT, in that you could save external addresses
in exchange for diminished inbound connectivity.
Our NAPT implementation is a pure research project, and we haven't had
the time to really do anything with it for over a year. It was a
proof-of-concept more than anything else. So it's unlikely that we'll
be adding dynamic allocation of translation addresses anytime soon. But
the source is included in the download, so if you want to add that
capability, go ahead!
