In the case where the clients connect to the server, there is absolutely no problem
with NAT, it is just transparent. The server responds to these connections like to
any other. Remember: HTTP establishes a TCP connection, and here the endpoints (=
sockets) are identified by ip-address and port number: IP address in the IP header,
port number in the TCP header.

A problem with NAT is to start a connection from the internet to a station on the LAN
through the NAT router. Many call this problem a security feature.
