Description

Our roadmap.txt used to have "relay?" as Connection Management Step 5. This would allow storage servers to live behind NAT boxes.

Specifically, servers should be able to announce a FURL that goes through some willing relay server instead of pointing directly at the storage server. There are a couple of different Foolscap proposals to implement this (http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/46).

Some more flexible store-and-forward routing scheme might also satisfy this goal.
