I use the DSL 500 here to link my servers to the rest of the world. No
idea how well it works in NAT mode (I have 6 static IP addresses, the
D-Link is running in more or less bridge mode).

Doco (including the full user manual, which for some odd reason didn't
ship with my DSL-500) can be found at:

http://www.dlink.com.au/tech/resources/files/routers/dsl500.htm

Not sure if that really helps you but it might be a start.

As for the DSL-500 in general I have had no problems. So far it's been
connected for 56 days no down time, no problems. Took about 5 minutes to
configure as I needed it (once I got the user manual that is. The quick
setup guide only talked about doing NAT when I needed bridged).

Cheers

Daniel
