Network Address Translation ("Internet sharing") is built into OS X, but
there was no GUI front-end configuration tool included with OS X. The
Sustworks application is merely a front-end to the NAT abilities
inherent in the system. Brickhouse is also a GUI front end to the NAT
services built into OS X.
The cool thing about NAT in OS X is that it can be done over a SINGLE
interface -- that is, the "inside" and the "outside" IP addresses can
BOTH be on a single ethernet port. Very cool.
