natgroup : Network Address Translation group object.

NAT groups are necessary if the Grid master is behind a NAT device and there are members behind both side of the NAT device. Any member on the same side as the master goes into the same NAT group as the master and uses its interface address for Grid communication. Grid members on the other side of that NAT device do not go into the same NAT group as the master and use the master’s NAT address for Grid communication.
