My student's summer of code project, which was quite unfortunately not completed, was to implement support for NAT in Plan 9, and to implement a firewalling infrastructure. I think it would be good to implement something like this, and several people thought that implementing NAT, if done correctly, would be quite useful for people running Plan 9. I'm still interested in providing guidance and info about this if it's something you're interested in pursuing -- I have quite a few ideas on how it should work. Kind regards, Devon H. O'Dell
