IPs, local or public - calling all HC users

hi all,
 
just wondering how people configure their IP addresses. do you setup your entire cluster of servers NICs with private IPs then use your router to forward external requests to the corrent machine,,,,, or..... do you assign your public IPs to you NICs and setup HC directly on those?
 
what are the pro's and con's of each?
 
thanks
zac
 

You may find benefits and drawbacks of Natting from this link: http://ipv6.com/articles/nat/NAT-Pros-and-Cons.htm
 
Using the information given above you can either use NAT or can directly bind public ips to your NICs.
 
 

yes thanks but i was really looking for feedback on how other HC user have set their system up.
