Are the IPid's not assigned by the NAT device? Seems like they would have to be. (so the NAT device could send the packets to the correct IP in the LAN)

According to the article, the "IP id" field is generated by the host, and is only used to reassemble fragmented packets. It must be unique among all packets of one protocol that have the same source and destination address (to allow for correct reassembly in case of fragmentation). I am assuming that the NAT device only alters the source IP, or leaves enough of the IP id string intact to allow the technique to work.
