If you specify "overload" then it will do PAT on any
addresses/interfaces/pools specified (PAT). If you don't specify
"overload" then it does a 1:1 mapping (NAT)
So if you have two addresses, then use them and specify "overload".
Also, I think the limits on PAT (realistically) are more like 8000
overloads per single address.........but someone may correct me if I am
wrong.
