Exactly. If you don't have an assigned address space that the outside
world isn't aware of, then you have several choices:
. Obtain a address space from hostmaster@internic.net (unlikely)
. Obtain a subnet from your provider (possibly expensive)
. Run a firewall with proxies for clients (fwtk from TIS will
do this for some TCP clients, notably X, http, telnet and
ftp). I do this on a netbsd host. Works well for our
purposes.
. Run socks and "socksified" clients
Perhaps there are more options, but I'm not aware of them.
