Andrew,

I can't speak to the direct question about XDMCP, however....

Some NAT devices are able to map multiple internal addresses to multiple external addresses. If your network's NAT/firewall has the "multiple" capability the risks vs rewards must be carefully examined.

Another question, I would like to access this box from external, it's behind a NAT/firewall. I've been hearing that xdmcp does not work behind NAT devices.. true or false? thx
