All,

My understanding is that static NAT (one-to-one mapping) will only work on 
ESP IPSEC, since the authentication in ESP covers the ESP header all the 
way into the ESP trailer.

However, static NAT should NOT work on AH traffic, since the authentication 
INCLUDES the IP address. Changing the IP address will invalidate the 
authentication and cause the packet to be rejected.

Or so I understand.
