The PAT implementation on the PIX does not currently support the ability
to include port information in its static mappings. You need an
additional IP address for every host you want to be globally
accessible. For example, you couldn't reserve port 80 for an internal
web server to be reachable via the PATed address. (you can do this on a
cisco router)
If you have a requirement for globally accessible servers, this would be
a situation where you would need NAT instead of PAT on the PIX.
