[c-nsp] PAT usage stats...

[Kaegler, Mike]

Right now at one ~400 person site, I have 187 active local IPs sharing 1487
still-alive connections. Its your regular everyday sales cubefarm.
That's just shy of an average of 8 translations per active user. By those
numbers, you could have 8,000 salespeople on one PAT.

Personally, I'd cut it faaaaar before that. 800-1000 active, tops. Its not
"expensive" to start a second pool, and you never know when a sites deadline
for online sexual harassment training will be until 4:40pm when the phone
starts ringing...
