Yea, I know it is old, but I looked into it as a possible solution to a 
research issue I am looking at where devices be accessible by name.

The devices might have different IP addresses when they connect and I don't 
want any connection to them to be able to keep an old IP, or even know what 
their IP address is.  By that I mean they should appear as if they initiated 
the connection from behind the NAT.

I picked up on the DNS-ALG spec as possibly addressing part of this and hoped 
if there was an implementation I'd start with it.
