Andrew, I think there may be a way around this though if your IOS supports it. You can now map an external IP address's port to an internal address's port... You may be able to map one external IP port number 25 to internal IP address 1.1.1.1 and one external IP port 110 to IP address 1.1.1.1 .... This is just a guess but I do know that you can map external IP address ports to internal ip address ports.. Heres my sample config for proof...of course I made changes to protect the innocent. I have ver 12.03T on a 1750.....

For a static nat to work the internal ip is translated to one valid external ip.. When I tried to do exactly as you mentioned I got an error message that the internal ip is already mapped . -----Original Message----- From: E A Moran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 06 September 2000 04:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: IP NAT NAT is a one-way procedure by default.

I have a server with an internal IP address of 1.1.1.1 and I have 2 external addresses 2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2. How can I translate incoming destination addresses 2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2 to 1.1.1.1 while keeping outgoing packets from 1.1.1.1 from being translated.
