Um, just becasue a host isn't NATed, doesn't meant that there isn't a
firewall protecting it. Nat is an evil hack used to allow more hosts to
use the internet than you have real IP addresses. NAT itself is NOT a
firewall, but it does have a side effect by nature that gives NATed
hosts some protection.
