I believe the original poster is looking for information on OUTBOUND FTP 
(server who's default gateway is the SI) not for INBOUND FTP which would 
use a real/virtual.

That said, I don't have any answers.....but so far in my experience, the 
NAT support on the SI is garbage, both for outbound and inbound traffic. 
They finally released a fix for broken traceroutes, but I haven't tested 
it.  Hopefully I'll get a chance in a few weeks.
