[FW1] RE: NAT - Manual or Auto??



JP,

here are my thoughts on NAT:

1.  If you are going to do static nat for a bunch of machines on you
internal network / DMZ, then I would use manual rules.  I have used both the
manual and the automatic translation rules.  I have never had the problem
with manual rules working, however occasionally the automatic rules fail /
intermittently work.

2.  If you are just doing hide nat for an internal network segment(ie:
hiding 192.168.1.0/24 behind ur real-world address) thne go ahead and use
the automatic translation rules.  I have never had a problem doing this.

hope this helps....

Subject: NAT - Manual or Auto??


Hi all,

Over a period of time I have seen several posts claiming that NAT is better
set up manually in FW-1 rather than using the auto NAT features. I also have
not seen anyone defend the auto NATing. So why is manual NAT so much better?
Or, why is the automatic NATing not as good?

Regards
JP
