... I think the current state of IP end-to-end connectivity is bad enough,
as it goes (NAT, dynamic addressing, etc.).
It would be much better to invest work to *return* to a proper Internet,
where people can *reach* other people, instead of trying to break things
even further.
If your business side of things is messed up (otherwise, why would you
care what sort of IP application the client runs? they pay for "Internet
access" not for "client access", no?) and you need to break your clients'
servers, block outgoing SYNs to ports <1024...
But as I said: this is not really a technical issue, more layer 8 to 10
("financial, political, religious").
