You are right, but that only works *iff* your router natively supports
H.323. If your router doesn't natively support H.323 it is not possible
to work, but you are here addressing a different point, the original
thread was about the possibilities to use a GK to make gnomemeeting work
from behind a NAT gateway, not about the possibilities to use a GK
itself behind a NAT gateway. The prerequisite of having the GK on a
public IP is only if you have GnomeMeeting working without IP
translation, without port forwarding, behind a NAT gateway that doesn't
natively support H.323 :)
