Re: NAT's

No it's not restricted to a single host, if it worked in the same way as port forwarding there would be no point to its existence. It's primary use (I believe) is to allow non-static ip hosts behind the router to have ports forwarded to them but it works just as well for multiple hosts using the same ports since the address to be forwarded isn't static but based on which made the connection.
