NAT is ugly, no matter when, where, or how you do it. A better idea
would be straight routing, unless you absolutely can't do that for
some reason. With NAT, you don't have true unimpeded end to end
connectivity, which will cause problems for many protocols and adds
complexity, which you always want to avoid as much as possible.
glad to see you got it working though.
