(ASCEND) Q. Can you run servers behind Pipeline (running NAT)?



I don't know exactly how NAT works. (I'll be interested to know. All I can
guess, is that when the packet exists the router, somehow the header
information is wrapped.)

But can you run servers (such as ftp server or web server) behnid the
Pipeline router (running NAT)?

In other words, is there a way for outside users to point to a specific
machine inside the NAT subnet.

Thanks.

Edwin

P.S. I can think of a solution. That is, don't use NAT and run DNS after the
pipeline router. The DNS effectively become the router and the pipeline
effectively become a Terminal Adapter. But if this is the case, why buy the
pipeline. We can do it with ~$150 ISDN TA. We are using pipeline because
it's cost effective for a subnet running multiple machines and the router
performs better than the computer. However, functionality will come before
performance. If we cannot solve this problem, we will be forced to drop the
pipeline solution.
