Yes I meant to say you can't have one port to two hosts simultaneously. While it doesn't have quite
the same uses as uPNP, it's arguable more secure since you still have to manually configure the
ports. Although now that I mention that, I think I remember there are certain routers with more
robust uPNP implementations which don't just allow anything to open up any port. Instead I think you
can limit the ports and hosts.
