I am also one of fans to vmware products including
wks, gsx, and esx, actually I am now having a test
for esx platform. I believe NAT is quite seldom used
in our virtual networking model, so I have no worrying
to that kind of security issue.
On the other hand, I hope the latest release of GSX
3.2.1 dest including the fix to domain trust bug besides
patch to vulnerability at NAT networking.
So far, I do believe Vmware is the best product at virtulazation.
