RE: PIX for VPN and NAT?

[Ian Stong <IStong () zuniversity com>]

Yes,  the PIX is quite capable of using NAT, PAT (port address translation)
and VPN setup/teardown all on the same box.   Certainly there are issues to
watch out for - specifically performance.  If you have a lot of remote users
doing VPN simultaneously you'll want plenty of memory and a good speed
system.  

Thanks,

Ian

Subject: [fw-wiz] PIX for VPN and NAT?



Has anyone used a PIX for both VPN and NAT at the same time? 

I've got the typical Class-A behind a PIX, but would like to support
VPN coming in thru the same unit.  It seems like it should work, but I
doin't want to go down a path if others have seen it has a dead end.

Thanks,
