Not being the person leading the charge on this at Brunel, I have a
question Paul and Owen probably already know the answer to:

How do you do DNS and certificate names on the CE? Don't the the WNs
(private LAN) need to see the CE with the same name as its certificate
(as does e.g. the RB on the WAN?) Or does that traffic go through NAT
and in through the public interface (albeit diddled inside the
processor rather than physically down a cable, IYSWIM)?
Thanks
