Yes, I appreciate that  :-)

Yes, true. But fortunately my scenario is slightly simpler:
	pcA  ----->  router1  =====/=====  router2[endpoint]


What I'm finding most strange is that the private IP address for pcA on
my own LAN is being propagated into the network behind router2. So when
I connect to a device that's on router2's LAN it sees the connection
coming from my own LAN's private address space. This doesn't feel right:
I would have expected pcA to be leased an address from the address
space owned/managed by router2. (I think there are options to provide
a static IP address but not a dynamic one from a pool. I'll have to do
more reading. Later.)

Cheers,
Chris
