yeah my routers do NAT already. and i do have failover for outgoing on NAT but i haven't gotten around to figuring out how to do failover nat(which seems to require dynamic NAT) combined with static NAT. a CCNA friend of mine works with a CCNP and he said its possible and would look at my config files to see what can be done but, i really expected this to be simple in linux! so until i figure out how to somehow combine dynamic and static nat on my cisco 2500s then i cant do failover for static nat entries(which my machines are on). nate
