Situation

Are replica rings supported between NAT routers?
Can you have servers in the same replica ring between a NAT router?

Resolution

Replica rings with servers across NAT devices are not supported.

Additional Information

The network address of the server is written to the replica attribute for each server in the replica ring.  This can only be one address and cannot maintain a network address for the each server's viewpoint on each side of the NAT device.
