Hello,

Is it possible to configure NAT as static many-to-one where the "many"
side is always the same and so is the "one" address? If so how often is
type of NAT used?

I also have the same question when it comes to dynamic NAT?


Thanks
Anund

Sure. Anyone who uses private, static addresses does this. I do on my
network. On the private side of the firewall the computers are
assigned a static IP from 192.168.1.x and they all are NATed to my
single public static IP address on the other side of the firewall.

I also have the same question when it comes to dynamic NAT?

This is also quite common. Many people use DHCP to assign a dynamic
private address to their systems and then NAT them to either a single
address on the public-facing side of the firewall, or to a range of
addresses (this is called a "DIP" in the Netscreen world).
