Whats Multi Nat in networking and how is it used?
Multi-NAT is the term used by NETGEAR to describe creating more than one public IP address for your network. This feature is described in Using Multi-NAT with the FVX538 or FVS338 Firewall. Multi-NAT is used in the situation when your ISP provides you with a number of public IP addresses, and you want to use them to provide access from Internet to multiple internal servers. (Regular NAT translates one public IP address — on a single port to a private IP on a single port — if you have multiple private servers listening on the same port, one-to-one NAT won’t accommodate all of them). Multi NAT assigns one of the public IPs to the WAN interface of the router; then Multi-NAT is used for the other public IPs, and with them NATed to multiple internal IP addresses. By creating an inbound rule, the firewall is configured to host an additional public IP address, and associate that address with a Web server on the LAN. This can be done for many additional addresses by creating an individual rule
