Ya know, when did this test become less about what an exceptional network
engineer needs to be able to do on a daily basis for a customer and more
about how much minutia and trivia you need to memorize that nobody ever uses
except to pass the test... (No offense to those who need to log their NAT
translations on a daily basis, but that's what firewalls are for...)
