Don,
your answer is technically correct, but likely to confuse the
poster
more. If he is running mail servers, hide nat
would be worthless, since the
obvious need for connecting to the mail servers from
the outside. Static
nat
would obviously be required, but if you think about the IP routing, with
static
nat you must map a legal host IP to an internal host private IP.
You
cannot point one address to many, without some kind of
intelligent
decision about to which to send the packet. It
would require some
load
balancing software.

Hide
nat yes - static nat no
If I
have multiple mail servers on the internal network, can they all share the
same NAT’d external address?
