Re: NAT question

Interesting question. Answer A is right. However, the question itself has
a *Ihidden* agenda. It *assumes* that the purpose of NAT (technically) is to
*hide* something. Certainly that is one potential justification for using
NAT, but, there are many other reasons. How 'bout, to save money by not
needing to purchase more public IPs, for ease of administration with only
one outside facing IP (could be internet could be another LAN segment), to
allow email filtering on only one IP rather than tons of connected clients,
etcetera.

I just find it interesting the way the question was phrased, as if the only
reason to use NAT was to "hide" something.
