i don't know about the linksys router, but the general answer is yes,
if you do nat in both directions, or use a plug-gw-style proxy however
without some fanciness, this limits you to one server per tcp or udp port.
depending on the configuration, the real server may not know the real
ip address of the client.
this may be acceptable for some applications.
