I'm pretty, nay absolutely certain, that to connect ethernet back to back
requires a cross over, unless, there is one of those "cross-over" ports
available, or some real clever ports can adapt.

If that is the case, it won't work, (of course I wonder what the point of
folding a port range down to a single port is?), but if it maps one-to-one,
then of course, it will work, with the caveat about latencey.
