There are two goals in mind:
1) Conserve global (i.e. real Internet) addresses while allowing
multiple machines access the internet from multiple local LANs
via the same Internet access point (e.g. a single cable modem)
AND
2) Allow each local LAN to have servers existing on the well know
ports (i.e. HTTP on port 80). For example someone on the
Internet could get to the web server on 192.168.0.2 by connecting
to port 80 of 1.2.3.5 and another browser could get to the web
server on 192.168.1.2 by connecting to 1.2.3.6 port 80. As I
understand it, with the standard IPMASQ/PORTFW only one of these
servers could exist at port 80 (on IP address 1.2.3.4) and the
other would have to live on another port (say 1.2.3.4 port 8080).
This would make the connecting client have to know that to get
to the nonstandard web server it is on port 8080. This becomes
even more of a problem if there are several (e.g. 16) local networks
that each want a web server accessible from the Internet.
Thanks again for any help/ideas on how I can get there...
