In my experience, I can get one client to work fine from behind a NAT by
using long UDP timeouts.  However, dispite what others have reported, I've
never been able to get multiple clients to work from behind a NAT (using
both IPF on Solaris and Win2K Server's built-in NAT router).

Of course, you'll have even more trouble with your krb5 TGTs.
