The Operations Guide and Concept, Planning and Deployment Guide documents are mute about SMS operations in a NAT
environment. The word NAT is mentionned only 2 times and it is under the BITS area:

<<< ... BITS can send and receive information by using a virtual private network (VPN), with or
without a firewall that does not do network address translation (NAT). Use of the Advanced
Client with NAT is not supported. ... >>>

If I'm to assume that the last sentence means what it says, then I need to setup a primary/secondary site behind a NAT
firewall to support my advanced clients. Am I right?

How does the SMS site servers behaves in a NAT environment?

The Microsoft Technet site is also quiet about SMS and NAT.

Thanks.
