I apologize for a lack of clarity, in that what I meant was:
"NAT for eyeball ISPs is technically possible and feasible if needed
(since IP addresses are centrally managed by one company); NAT for
servers (in the sense of dedicated/colocated systems run by different
people/companies) is almost technically impossible and not feasible due
to customer training needed and the coordination that would be required."
I meant "trivial" FSVO "possible" - sorry.
