Hostname canonicalization is sure to cause you problems in some strange
fashion. You'll want to look into that. I would agree that real IPs
for the servers (both AFS and Kerberos) are a good idea. I would also
think that static nat would be a good idea if you can't have static
public ips.
I was running entirely behind a firewall but now I have need to support
roaming users for a SOHO network. Canonicalization was an issue for me
because my ISP controls my PTR records. I am just now getting around to
fixing that. I plan to push all my servers out into the wild. (ooh scary)
