..FB: This could be a "point to point" VPN - but doesn't have to be one.
Much like you could have multiple NAT boxes deployed in a normal NAT
deployment, one could have multiple NAT boxes present in a single VPN -
and setup your routing in a way that you achieve some load balancing
across the different NAT boxes. 
(Though your (corrected) comment - "s/IPv4 address/IPv4 address of the
AD/" applies of course).

...FB: Agreed.

.. FB: Fine for me. How about making section 7 (so both 7.1 and 7.2)
Appendix A? The only downside I see with an appendix approach is really
that the text which some readers might still be interested in is a bit
separated from the real document - because (per formatting rules), it'll
end up at the very end of the document, behind the references.

Thanks again for your detailed review.
