Hugh,> One question -- if a router offers a 'port forwarding' feature, would that suffice for the hairpin routing you mention?Port forwarding is used with external access to your router, allowing you to point incoming connections to specific NAS drives, webcams, or computers on your LAN.Good routers will let you change an incoming port number, and redirect it to a different port number on a specific device. This would allow you for instance to have multiple NAS drives on your LAN, with each one responding to FTP Port 21, but then to access them individually from outside by using unique port numbers in the FTP client.Cheers - Ewen

I never understood this, thx!
