I'm in the unfortunate position of having to use NAT, instead of
having a decent number of routable addresses.  When an AFS client
on the Internet contacts the volume location server, the VL server
returns the internal IP address of the file server (10.1.2.2),
instead of the translated address (65.29.199.3).

Does anyone know of a work-around?  Would setting up a second,
bogus volume location server do the trick, or perhaps some
hackery on my firewall (which happens to be CheckPoint FireWall-1)?
