You should not have "bitrot" with NAT, but if you want to get rid of the second NAT layer, that seems not to be a bad idea anyway. > > apps running on LTSP server including Mozilla... > > It sounds almost as though the LTSP server does NOT do > NAT, but rather directly creates packets w/its own IP > address and assigns various high ports to the sessions > as needed. ??

If you want to connect to an existing client session like "wiretapping" on a phone line, that can be done by running "x11vnc" on that session. Then a regular VNC session can be opened which just mirrors the client display (and optionally, you can even move the mouse etc). I think that would best be done as LTSP local app, and IIRC, there are previsions for doing so. Perhaps you find some docs in the wiki?
