John, You are absolutely right. Time should be spent developing "good algorithms" which is common "good architecture". What NAT does is just another form of the same thing that X.25, ATM, and MPLS do with different identifiers. It is not bad algorithm there nor bad architecture. This is

So we want some application level namespace and a system to translate it to addresses. What characterstics should such a system have? It needs to be highly available, so you need replication among multiple servers. You can't concentrate all the data in one place so it needs to be distributed,
