Hello all,

The scope of our VPN project has altered that now we have to accept 
connections from users behind routers therefore I have a few questions 
about NAT-T that I've either not been able to find answers to or am not 
sure that the answers I've found are correct.   I've read a few times on 
here about the wiki and other documentation being out of date.

1) We're using the 2.6.15-1.1833_FC4 kernel.  Am I correct in thinking 
that the NAT-T patch is already applied to this kernel?

2) As NAT-T is enabled globally in the ipsec.conf am I correct in 
thinking this will not have an effect on the clients connecting from non 
NAT sources.

3) All our existing non NAT clients connect with type=transport which 
has security implications with NAT-T. Is this only for the clients 
connecting from behind a NAT router?

Many Thanks,

Olly.
