You maybe forgetting clueless IT managers that force use of NAT as a
policy in some organizations. Even more it maybe defined by circumstances 
and type of router and internet connection they have. Plus such
organizations need something done and and quickly and don't care
if some consultant says they should not be using nat - the question
asked, can you do it or not?
