Armadel is on a distinguished road
So that's how it works.

I understand fully how the router keeps a cross reference of
"stub" I/P addresses to "real" I/P addresses.
My initial confusion was because I thought my ISP was only issuing me one I/P address, hence the router would not know which way to redirect it.
My ISP must be issuing multiple I/P addresses for this scheme to work.

*gulps*, that means they have a means to see that I am in fact using more than one I/P address, yet am only paying for one.

Should I worry ?
