You mean dynamically asking a NAT to forward ports to your IP; I agree that
would be friggin awesome!

Yep - that would be very keen. It would make BT and other such p2p
systems much more usable up front.

Well it sounds like they system already exists - it is just disabled by
default on all the routers.

Even if you turn it on, nothing will happen. The BT client I use
(Azerus) does not sent the NAT-PMP request to my base station, so it
never gets a port opened.

Others I know who have activade uPNP report similar results.
