some built stuff, some questions

=> I confused the 4 in IPv4 with the version 4 of DHCP.

=> a real AFTR needs a DHCP server and a DNS server. Note not
mandatory on the same box.

=> it is not the answer to the question but it can help: use
the shared entry of the Makefile. If it is possible it is very
fine to have the python version (python 2 or 3, both are supported).

=> ah! A real box!

=> you wrote 'the public address' (:-)

=> the reason is the conntrack hash table can run out of memory,
conntrack has a real cost for the performance too.
Note for an AFTR perhaps the simplest will be to remove the iptables
from the kernel (or if you want to keep the shared public address hack,
to push them to a package).

=> I know for libdb but where the libxml is from (in the case you have
the answer)
