I'll probably follow your advice based on your comments belows.  I don't 
understand, however, why configuring the pix to not do NAT is such a scary 
thing.  Using nat0 with an access list seems simple enough to me.  Does this 
command not work correctly?  I've seen others on this list recommonded 
against using nat0, but I've never understood why.  In my test environment 
nat0 seems to work easy/well enough.
