Which was Randy's point, so if your technology agnostic why do you ask if the requesting LIR has thought of using NATs!!!!
the inverse of the current message would be "Given their difficulties, have you checked that you're not using NATs?" probably something educational and neutral would actually be helpful. "While NATs can be useful in conserving address space in situations such as o a o b o c see blah blah "They also create problems such as o d o e o f see blah blah "We neither encourage or discourage their use, and strongly suggest that LIRs and ISPs do not encourage or discourage their use." randy
