Would you be excited/happy if you were going to be a double CCIE very soon?

Yesterday I helped a guy with a network problem. He commented to his partner

Now, how is all this possible?
The CCIE lab studies I do, make me 10x the average networking guru (or
more).
I used a simply policy routing to a loopback (configured with ip nat inside
of course) to force a private ip to become a public ip that is used on a
tunnel. Now the catch-
That same public ip is actually assigned to a linux firewall a few hops
away, so the ipsec cisco router I'm configuring nats private to public,
encaps public to ipsec, sources from private, and the linux fw sends udp
4500 as this tunnel came up with nat-t to an ASA somewhere way outside the
linux fw out on the public internet.
The hard part that needed a policy route?
This was a one legged router sitting parallel with the server... oh, yeah,
that one leg, was nat outside... as a CCIE I knew the nat rule would kick in
BEFORE the crypto happens making it all possible.
All the consultants that came in before and tried to work with all these
constraints to do this... couldn't even start... LOL
Remember, "You must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind."
So the question I have for you is how bad do you want to be good?
