Thanks for the link, I've read this one many times (and wonder about the 
GPL compliance) but it doesn't necessarily match my problem.  I have 
clients connecting from known different NAT configurations (ie, not the 
same lan with assuredly not the same internal routes/gateways) and it 
still fails.  The link references only multiple connections from the 
same NAT domain or from different NAT domains with the same gateway 
address on RFC1918 nets.
