OK Gary's doing something non-standard :-)
I also have a SR server at home. I use the
pop-up GUI to turn VPN on/off. I put
both my local server and my Sun server's IP
addresses into the Server list in the Sun Ray
config.
By toggling VPN on/off, I can connect into
SWAN or my home server.
But the basic answer to the first question: "can
you run a DTU behind a NAT-gateway?" is "yes".

It works for me with a Sun Ray 1. I have a private network at home,
using ipfilter on a Solaris machine as a NAT router. To make it work,
I only needed to set up Sun's DHCP server on the Solaris machine to
serve the private network. Older Sun Rays can only be configured
through DHCP. I don't use any special NAT rules for the device.
I only need to take my Java card home to get my work session at home.
This in interesting. If this works I have a lack of understanding.
Where does your sun ray at home know which srs server to connect to?
That's set in a DHCP option. This is all described in the Sun Ray
manuals. It's the same DHCP option that's normally set on the DHCP
server that runs on the Sun Ray server.
And what is a Java card? Are these the normal cards from Sun we use for
years with sun rays. As far as I know they are stateless and just carry
some unique id!? Unless you have configured your Solaris router (DHCP
server) in a special way, making it pass the ipaddress of the srs
server to the sun ray I wouldn't expect this to work.
Yes, that's the same card.
Moreover without ugly utilization/configuration of open vpn on both
sides the data between your sun ray and your srs server is transmitted
not encrypted, isn't it?
That's correct.
