Re: Port forwarding necessary

Really, it's actually not so simple to do

It's absolutely trivial if you give it a public IP.

Also by the way there's billions of reasons to use IPMI not just related to no onsite admin - if you run thousands of servers you want a way to manage them, to provision them - it's the public IP *plus* flaws that's at issue here. They're both fixable.
