Can Someone explain the following statement in GSS Documentation

[david.gagne]

I found the following statement in some GSS manual. Does it means that the GSS's should never be put behing NAT devices?

" It should be noted up front that communication between the GSS-M to GSS Standby (GSS-S) and GSS-M to GSSs cannot be NAT’ed by any intermediate device. The reason for this is because the real IP addresses of the devices is embedded in the payload of the packets and the NATing device cannot properly NAT. "

Is it true?

Thanks

Yes this is true. What this means is that NAT will not work between GSS-M and GSS-S. So there should be no intermediate device between the two. If there is no NAT being used in the network, then there should be no problem.
