When you don't have all day to bathe your retina in EM radiation, then your presence

Sorry for being so short, I was busy.

Basically, if this person wants to do NAT, he has to do connection tracking as well.
LYSB, he doesn't have to run ctrack without NAT, but without ctrack the current
implementation of NAT in netfilter won't work. If there are other stateless NAT
kernel implementations available that attach to netfilter, then I am currently
unaware of them.
