Mine works flawlessly.  The trick is that you have to have static NAT *both*
ways.  When you originate packets, your source address must map to the same
public IP that gets forwarded to you when you are the destination.  The
public IP is the one your external slave must have in its configuration.

Are you sure you aren't dropping the outbound packets?
