    I've seen the interesting issues as well. But in 90+% of the networks I
    deal with, I don't find those issues. It's only when myself and the
    admin I'm working with has 20 services in the DMZ that needs to be
    provided publicly, but their ISP has only given them a /29 subnet to use
      that my head starts to hurt.

    My overall point was, if you have the $ for IP addresses or already have
    them, it's discretionary...it's up to you to use NAT or not. If you
    don't have the IP addresses to spare, then sometimes you have to get
    creative. I guess I didn't see the issue as more/less work, or
    routing/not routing if you knew what you were doing...it just becomes
    preference of implementation at that point.
