Well, it is more complicated than that. Many people do think that NAT
boxes are layer 3 devices, and if you have a double-nat mechanism then
"messing around with DNS packets" is a needed feature. Sure, then one

Anyway, this is not when we should fight about wording. We all know
what we talk about, and I think we should thank Patrik and others what
they have done.
