Do my systems behind a NAT firewall hit the "Abuse of Service" limit because of the single public IP address ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • If all my servers are using NAT, then RHN Hosted receives the same external IP address. Does the RHN consider that ?
  • If there was a sudden requirement to patch the servers on mass then I'm sure we'd trip over the restriction again.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) All versions registered with RHN
