To use or not to use NAT? If you're a network manager or administrator eager to embrace network address translation (NAT) as a security and connectivity solution, yet are wary of its temperamental reputation, Bill Dutcher's roadmap to NAT strategy is for you. Drawing on his practical addressing experience at one of the world's largest ISPs, Dutcher provides all the information you need to evaluate NAT's suitability for your network, implement and manage it, and justify its use.You'll find clear explanations of NAT techniques, advantages and disadvantages, as well as how to deploy it with different technologies-from routers, firewalls, and proxies to VPNs.

The book includes two detailed case studies demonstrating how to implement NAT on a firewall in order to move your network to private addressing and how to use NAT to balance the load on a group of servers. Other essential topics include:
* How NAT works to translate IP addresses from private to public domains
* NAT solutions in connectivity, routing, load balancing, and security
* Why NAT interferes with certain applications and how to overcome these problems
* Static or dynamic NAT-which is the right method for your situation
* The effects of NAT on DNS services and how to make them work together
* How NAT works in VPN environments and with VPN security techniques
* The future of NAT and the public address crisis

Networking Council Books put technology into perspective for decision-makers who need an implementation strategy, a vendor and outsourcing strategy, and a product and design strategy. The Council of series advisors is comprised of three of the most influential leaders of the networking community.

Save a tree...don't make another book like this

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2001

This book is way vague. No specific examples, mainly lengthy hot air explinations of the theory of NAT. For (price) bucks, I would rather have bought a Cisco specific handbook. If you do NAT at work and need a few pointers and pratical solutions, this book is not for you.
If it was on Survivor, it would have been voted off the first day.

If you don't know about IP and ARP, why are you doing NAT?

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2001

I picked up the book hoping to learn stuff about NAT that I didn't already know. Unfortunately, I found that I was reading a lot about basic concepts that anyone who is going to use NAT should already know. Sections about the IP protocol and TCP headers! At one point, the author says ARP is part of the invisible data link operations. Who is going to use NAT and not know about ARP??? Most of the book is about 5 main points about NAT rehashed over and over again. NAT is pretty simple; if Kernighan & Ritchie could get away with a book a quarter of the size of the NAT book, Dutcher (the auther of NAT Handbook) must have gotten paid by the page.
