I found this in my SonicWall TELE2's logs when I tried unsuccessfully to connect a VPN 
through a NAT-enabled remote ISP:

10/02/2002 00:58:20.768 -       NAT Discovery : Peer IPSec Security Gateway doesn't 
support VPN NAT Traversal   

Does it mean:

1.   That IPSec doesn't handle VPNs that go through NAT-based networks (something I 
heard at the O'Reilly MacOS X Conference presentation by Paul Hoffman of the VPN 
Consortium--something about IPSec, as currently defined, doesn't handle VPNs with 
endpoints that terminate in non-routable IPs).

Or

2.   That SonicWall has detected a NAT-based network at the other end which doesn't 
support VPN NAT Traversal/Passthrough (which the same Paul Hoffman stated some 
companies have implemented as an enhancement/workaround to the IPSec standards but 
which isn't part of the standards.)  And that it's implying that SonicWall has 
implemented this?

Inquiring minds want to know.  (And, yes, I've already sent in a query to SonicWall.  
Wish me luck at getting an intelligible, helpful response from them.)
