Hello all, Can anyone explain the pros and cons of NAT and Proxy server, from a security standpoint? It would seem to me that NAT + a firewall would be much more secure than relying on a proxy server, but I'm having a hard time explaining this to management. Also, how many times can you NAT on a network? Is it plausible to have remote sites connect to a distribution router (in a private frame relay cloud), NAT there, and then connect back to the central office and be NAT-ed again prior to going out on the internet? Or does something get lost in translation? All replies appreciated.
