[e2e] using p2p overlays to overcome recursive NATs/realms

[Hans Kruse]

OK, lets not reopen the NAT flame wars....   In your app, however, you are 
running into the original and most prolific NAT customer -- high-end 
home/SOHO users who are stuck with ISPs that provide exactly one IP4 
address.  To my knowledge we do not have a non-NAT solution for these folks 
wanting to use more than one machine behind that ISP.  That is what midcom 
is trying to deal with until we can get enough systems IPv6 reachable to 
have this problem fade into the background.
