Granted that some DNS servers are too strict, but NAT is superfluous
when you can PROXY the service, and DNS is perfectly suited to
letting a host with the right privileges operate on your behalf.
I find it a lot more of a bitch to have to commission and maintain
two DNS services because with NAT you have internal and external
DNS mappings :-(
Which reminds me, if my PROXY is NetBSD - and a long way from here,
at that, how do I get my Plan 9 network to use it?
