Oh thank you. very fine indeed.

To refine the question a little, this means that the destination is
only aware of the remapped address, that the illusion is complete?

Presumably for the tcp conversation to work the remapped addresses must
be bound to the proxy's interface, yes?

That's very cool.

thanks a lot.
