this may be a stupid q to some but i was just wondering that if you have a router connected to the net that performs NAT, and then a firewall connected to the router that
performs NAT as well, do all user requests that are sent then get double NAT'd or does this setup not work? once again im sorry if this seems stupid to some, but its been
bugging me for a while and i havent found anything that tells me.

thanks,

kirk brady
