If you're using 1-to-1 NAT forwarding, run identd or the inetd-based version on
the internal hosts you're forwarding to.  If you're using NAT to only forward
individual ports to specific machines, or are using NAT for outbound connection
sharing only, well, you can only forward ident requests to a single machine; I
don't know of a better solution.

Interesting problem...
