Re: (ASCEND) NAT in pipeline
Hi,
New on the list - and the thread ;-).
But a few comments:

There's no problems. NAT works as expected - which means
transparently for the user. You can definately use a DNS server at
your ISP - you just have to provide your machine with the IP address
of the ISP's DNS server as usual.
I actually use it a lot of places with my own DNS server on the
inside of the private net - going directly to the root servers on the
Net through NAT. This caching speeds things a lot ;-).
Regards,
Lars
