Yes, my Linksys box will forward requests, based on the port. I used it
in another location, where I had cable modem, to run a web server. I also
set it up for ssh/scp so I and one other person could work remotely. It
was only for development. My server didn't seem to have a problem serving
up web pages or allowing me to log in and work.
What does "nat in both directions" mean? For that matter, what does "nat"
mean?
Is there a case in which you would want two different servers running and
using the same port number?
